Omega General Help / Re: HELP...Diesel EML problem, loss of turbo until light is extinguished

Replaced MAF sensor with a known good one - no change...
Will examine EGR valve tomorrow plus dismantle and check vac system.
Thanks for helpful replies.

Thanks for all your prompt replies - just to add, the rev counter is working fine so I can probably rule out the crank sensor.
I have a spare MAF sensor, will replace tomorrow  and let you know.
Cheers

Omega General Help / HELP...Diesel EML problem, loss of turbo until light is extinguished

« on: 15 August 2013, 18:53:21 »

Hi all,
My 2.2 dti has had the engine management light coming on for last few days, accompanied with turbo loss, until about 2000 revs. Engine management light then extinguishes and turbo kicks in as normal.
Eml remains off until either
                                    1. reduced throttle when cruise speed is reached, (at any speed), or
                                    2. when stopped at traffic lights or other traffic nuisances
No fault codes have been stored, EGR valve cleaned, all vacuum pipes and elbows appear to be sound.
Oil and filter have just been changed and the battery is in good order.
Any help would be greatly  appreciated.
Many thanks,

Taximan

Omega General Help / Injector pump help-2.2 turbo diesel engine transplant

« on: 20 August 2012, 19:13:48 »

Hi,
Want to transplant my old 2.2 turbo diesel lump to give the old girl new life.
I gather that there could be compatability problems between injector pump and ECU.
So... should I    a.   try swapping injector pumps over when engines are out ?    or
                      b.   try swapping electronic box, therefore leaving pump in situ ?   or
                      c.   get man with laptop to extract data before swap, and reboot the thing when completed ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm well out of my depth.

Thanks and regards,

Taximan

Omega General Help / Re: Wandering steering (tramlining) - Help please.

« on: 27 November 2011, 18:53:46 »

Many thanks for all your help.
Replaced worn wishbones and drop links(only after forcing mechanic to ride shotgun),  followed by tracking, camber and caster checks.
Its like a new car.
Decided to replace after 2 years, cos I'm not ever going to rely on my council to pass duff components any more, and it would be great to get decent mileage out of the front tyres at last.

Omega General Help / Wandering steering (tramlining) - Help please.

« on: 03 November 2011, 23:38:51 »

Hi all,
My taxi passed its 6 month MOT after replacing both bottom ball joints and 2 new front tyres.
Both tyres have been destroyed within 2 months, dispite having the tracking done on two occasions at crap garages. I finally found top garage that checks camber and caster as well, and found camber out on one side. All fixed now..........BUT steering creaks and wanders alarmingly on our crap Lincolnshire lanes.
I'm about to relace both drop links and the idler arm this weekend, and would be very grateful for any idea's of what other bits to check while I'm under there.
Best regards
Taximan

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Whereabouts of rear fog relay ? help

« on: 23 July 2011, 23:45:25 »

Hi everyone,
I need to know, fairly quickly, where the rear fog light relay lives on my 02 TDI.
Rear fogs absent, but dash warning light OK, so new switch works.
Thanks in advance,

Omega General Help / Re: 2.2dti glow plug problem

« on: 29 March 2011, 23:29:34 »

Hi, I bought a cheap set of 4 off ebay. If they only last a year in my taxi its a guddun cos they are so easy to replace on the 2.2.
Just count to ten after the light goes out. Perrrfect...no crap out of the back.
Hope you get it sorted. One less thing to worry about.

« on: 25 March 2011, 17:07:12 »

Hi, Thanks Elite Pete & Middy. All is clear now.
I always top up the fuel well before empty cos I gather they can be a swine to bleed through.
Best regards,
Taximan.
