2.2 - Saga  - FYI
« on: 18 January 2007, 09:54:16 »
EML light been coming on occasionaly for last 6 months with no ill effect. Exhaust been blowing a bit (will be sorted this week) However, last 3-4 weeks car been down on power and will not idle from cold - stalls and seems to mis-fire when driving.
Paid dealer in Glasgow £63 for Tech 2 read out. Came up with P0170 for lean exhaust but could not be 100% as hole in exhaust - quoted £500 plus for exahaust ;D
Anyhoo, said no thanks, picked up car (still running like a pig) and drove home. Took out MAF, got a cotton bud soaked in solvent and wiped the three sensor wires inside MAF (some dirt left on bud) Put MAF back in and started car. Car was cold but idled perfectly. Took for a test drive - drives superb. Wife drove it to work and back yesterday (motorway speeds and around 50-60 miles) no problem. May be a bit early but cleaning wires or maybe just re-connecting MAF in to wiring harness has made a difference.
MOT due Monday, I'll fit new front discs and pads (done them many times on other cars - anything to watch for?) But need new OSR coil spring (broken) - any one know where to go for one?
Other jobs to do soon is replace cam shaft gasket and seals (got oil in #2 plug well) and clean all breather pipes. If anyone has Vauxhall part number for required gaskets for these 2 jobs it would be a big help.
Thanks  - great forum - keep it up :y

For brakes, you need to buy 2 new wear sensors (X reg will have one each side), as you won't remove old ones without braking them...

Dont suppose you have the part numbers for the O' rings and gasket for the 2.2
(I think the 2.2 and 2.0 gaskets are the same)

Would post myself but I have since binned the packaging :-[

What??? you do not keep all your receipts nicely filed in a folder??? :o

I have mine also from the previous meega...  ;D

If any one here has a 2.5 97R Reflection in Star Silver it might just be mine - give me a shout and I'll post the receipts to you...

Well yeah most receipt go into the folder but the particular one I am thinking of I'm sure I left at my folks as at the time I did 2 cover gasket changes and my dad paid. Hopefully he hasn't thrown it out

Re the OSR coil spring.  I'd suggest aftermarket: KYB or Sach.  They should be around £30 each.  
Many on here suggest replacing as a pair and VX will only sell as a pair for about £160 or something like that (I sort of stopped listening when I heard one hundred......)

They're fairly easy to change - I think there may be a how to someone.  Certainly there is a thread around on it.

Sorry i dont have the packaging either  :(

I just asked the vx dealer parts guy for cam cover gasket and o rings.......but then he has been there for years.....and knows his way around the EPC...my dealer didnt have the gasket in stock and had to order one in...so you might have to wait a day or so to get one.
