Omega General Help / Quick question

« on: 16 June 2025, 15:46:50 »

Live data says engine running lean, I know I can smell it. Bank1 and 2 say 128 when cold and 134 when hot what ever that is. Says rich if I rev it, no intake leaks I could find, idle speed spot on , temp gauge matches scanner and no exhaust leaks. Any ideas?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Further ABS fault

« on: 08 June 2025, 16:16:01 »

Okay so got my Snap On code reader working, it says fault code 35 pressure release relay fault. (same as Ds diagnostic tool) so does this mean it needs a rebuild? I take its not referring to the 2 50amp electrical relays on the top?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / ABS code 35

« on: 03 May 2025, 18:23:13 »

Managed to get D to scan the ABS and it came up with 35 , does that mean the ECU is knackered? It has been sat 20+ years.

« on: 31 March 2025, 17:12:05 »

Fuel pump works but only when cranking, its so quite! Thought it might start but no sparks, now should the fuel pump prime when ign turned on for a few secs? Will put my Snap On scanner on it to see if any codes Wed.
 Also turned over for ages and oil light still on, any trick for priming system?

General Car Chat / 1.6 Zaff

« on: 04 April 2024, 14:16:20 »

Seeing how my youngest lad didnt keep his pants zipped up he now needs a 7 seater, got a text from him asking if a 2013 1.6 Zaffera was any good. Told him gutless but no worse that any of the choices for reliability . 88K he said for mileage.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wots this plug for?

« on: 05 February 2024, 20:42:14 »

On the wiring loom section that goes to the Lambda sensors on the 3.0 there is a 2 pin plug . Did it go to the fuel vent valve? If so will it need a resistor to fool ECU?

So is it possible to deactivate the immobiliser in the engine ECU on a 96 3.0 V6 or is the only way by getting a key chip.

Omega General Help / propshaft damper

« on: 05 January 2024, 15:44:32 »

So went to fit the prop to the Austin and cant remember how the damper fits at gearbox end, one shown in Haynes did not have one and no mention. Now have seen on here? some do not have a damper so is it okay to leave it off?  Total PIA to get at when its on my scissor lift , good job it has a safety interlock as squeezed inside it to reach!!

Omega General Help / breathers.

« on: 21 April 2023, 16:19:41 »

So had to remove the plastic breather connector from top of engine to give me bonnet clearance with the intake pipe, made up 2x 10mm copper pipes to fit between throttle body and Y shape hose. That is the same as the plastic housing and that bit is okay. Question is the 2 small pipes that come from Breather box, what are they for ? vent system. If so they can be deleted as no fuel tank vent connected.
