hi RonaldMcBurger (nice tag)

yes I am sure I had it changed (even check the reciept a moment ago)  as for the other areas I could check them but don't know where they are on the car (except for the parts a user posted an image I can find those).... Is there a kind of Haynes manual on the web that shows you the car parts?

near had an accedient this morning! some guy flashed me to go I put the accelerator down and the car did not do nothing! Sh*t! the guy that gave way nearly smashed into me.... need to sort this out...I have to press full acceleration for everything, wife takes bus to work instead now!!!!

nixoro - thanks for the picture...I can see what the pipes and stuff are (not really confident to start opening things up as I might break something etc)  On the fat chunky pipe I have all oil dripping down it...it looks messy...is something clogged? hmmm I am in Greenwich - Plumstead to be exact.....not sure if that is far away for you?

I am afriad I don't know much about engines, a bit crap in that dept.  I don't know where the idle control valve is either to clean it... but when the vauxhall garage fitted it would they not clean it themselves? Vauxhall main dealers ! I hate them arrrggghhh.  the guys there make me sick! I wrote a letter of complaint to them because they changed the c02 sensor and I paid £200 and no difference!  


Tunnie....could we arrange for you to have a look at it? name your price, i can come to you or you can come to me and ill pay for petrol....there is also a main dealer close-by if I need to buy any parts....

most of the garages around here don't touch Omegas they say "go to the main dealer its all computerised we don't touch it" and the main dealers charge a fortune, no wonder these cars loose value quickly if you can't DIY.....

Is there any one in London that can garuntee a fix name your price...
thanks

Sorry my car is Vauxhall CDX 2.0l 16v s reg 96,000miles

the thing is everyone has a different solution to my prob.... are any of you mechanics and live in London and can gaurntee a fix? I have been ripped off by mechanics that say its x,y,z when its non of them! the tech 2 machine says its all clear... this must mean there is a blockage.... in the 1st gear you press excellerator full and the car just about moves... you should be able to wheel spin the car!

any body will to fix it? or know anywhere I can go? I am desperate!!! I will travel anywhere in London..iam in Greenwich

many thanks

i brought my Omega 2 years ago and I cannot find anyone that can regonise whats wrong with it!!! been to even 2 main dealers..they put it on the tech 2 and find nothing...had new exhaust system, fuel filter, spark plugs, ht leads, breather hose(from cam cover) camshaft sensor, timing belt, adjustor idle and gasket, new alternator,c02 sensor, exhaust manifold gasket... and STILL NO LUCK....what the hell can it be!!!!! arrrrghhhhhhh feel like smashing it in a wall....

problem = This is an intermittent problem. When ticking over revs drop to nothing then pick up. On a bad day every time I take my foot off the throttle the engine cuts out. Starts first time when restarted, but if you do not keep revving it will die again. ( intermittant throttle mostly in 1st gear no power!!!!)Help Thanks
actually please help I beg!!!!!
