I have been fiddling with my 2.2l 16v with broken clutch. But there was a LOT of other issues. Namely a missfire or hesitation upon throttle. What i have done so far. Replaced clutch (problem solved. Also removed and welded up the cat (holes) ,Cleaning out the rocker cover+gaskets, crankcase breather pipe (totally plugged) cleaned out the carburettor, The hole was plugged to idle controll. Still have the hesitation. Also waterpump, and plugs were renewed, The same problem is still there, but it started to run better today and ran hotter. There was a hole in the purge hose. But noone of my many measures has been able to cure the problem entirely. Before removing the old timing belt, i checked the timing. It was slighty off. I did change everything. Tensioner and idler pulleys. But i have the small timing error again. It is not possible to have it lined up 100% spot on.... Now a thought that no one has discussed (or i have not found a discussion about this) The godamned waterpump can be rotated. On all other cars i have worked on this is fixed and one cannot mount it incorrectly...But on the omega 2,2 16v and probably all 16v engines it can be rotated.. and that would affect the length from crankshaft pulley to the camshaftpulleys. I did mark the wp before replacing and fitted it the same way i got the car. But since i cannot align timing perfectly, would that not be the probable error??? But no one has ever mentioned this. The wp:s moutning will affect timing!!! so if i now loosen the belt again and move it one notch, and loosen the wp rotating it clockwise, i should be able to correct the small error ? The are no error codes now. But there were a few i read with "My Naff Code Reader" and software. It was the camshaft sensor and a lot of other stuff, probably related to prevois owner forgetting to fit all the connectors. But the real issue should be the timing being slitghly off, possible involving the wp not being in the place it should ?. Next question, How sensitive it the timing error? If the top cambelt pulleys are spot on the crancshaft notch is 5mm Counter clockwise from the pointer. But for each thing i did the issues became less and less a problem. Maybe a few hours of burning out shit from all the holes and plugged holes, will have it back on treack. I have replaced all one can replace it fees like. I just want someinput on the slight timing error, from a knowlegeadble person. It cannot be solved only with the tensioner. (worn and new setting).

I got my TL866cs programmer out. i can read my 97 2.5td Omega with box or chip 1 037 355 974 0281 355 974. It will be read and detected as st m27c256 DIP28.
Bought this car recently for 3000 SEK which is 250 GBP. What i Know Sofar... The clutch is gone and there is audible noise when in gear. Like stuff rubbing on the flywheel. The timing belt is old and will be swapped. The issue is that the car is vibrating on higher rpm and looses power the more throttle i give it. It sound like one cylinder is not running properly. I realize that this could be a number of issues. i did a readout via chinese v=clone "My Naff Code Reader" and i got a number of error codes wich are probably a result of previous owner foregetting t to plug all the wires when trying to fire the engine. After deleting error one one fault code reappears. i did swap out the ingintion coil module but the problems remain. LIve data suggest that the trottle body works as both pedal and thottle show no sticking, just a linear respons w7o jumping or loosing signal. all sparkplugs look normal. the camsahft sensor which was suspected the culprit does not reappear when i update the errorlog. it runs normal on idle but upon throttle above 30 percent it start to stutter and sound like it runs on 3 cylinders. The reason for my asking is whether to start swapping clucth and cambelt and pretty much every item that are worn out or just get the other diesel omega up and running with less work. could the camshaft sensor be the underlying problem or is it a blown head gasket. All logic says no since plugs look normal. i see no deviation on injector, or coils either. I dont want to spend days i the garage if i have bigger issues whith the motor. here is the error log before deleting it
