Omega General Help / Gearbox Problems

« on: 26 July 2012, 09:33:39 »

Ok, finally got around to putting the the original radio & cd player in (CCR600 changed from a CAR400) and struggling to run all the wires etc through. Problem now is that I seem to have done something to the garbox in the process as all was fine before I started.

There are now no selector lights lighting up and MID shows the dreaded "Automatic Gearbox"

The question is, have I Just managed to blow a fuse for the box ecu or is there any gearbox related plugs behind the radio that I may have disconnected? Something simple like that? or is this something that has just decide to go wrong at this time?

Selector lights not lighting up suggest to me a fuse or conection but I am no expert!

Please help!

Omega General Help / Air bag light

« on: 26 September 2011, 13:18:12 »

Ok, so I haven't needed to ask for help on here in a long time, BUT.....

Air bag light has come on. Plugged in "My Naff Code Reader" and tried resetting it but same fault keeps reappearing. Drivers side airbag squib high voltage. I am presuming a new squib should sort the problem out, or is it likely to be just a loose connection?

2.5v6 CD, electric hight adjuster on the passenger side is not working. The motor is clicking and trying to turn but seat must be stuck somehow as it wont budge up or down.

MAF low voltage, I am guessing that this could be caused by a dirty air filter could it?

Or is it the MAF needing replacing?

Omega General Help / Not firing on all cylinders?

« on: 17 February 2010, 12:15:31 »

Had usual cam cover leak, changed gaskets, plugs and leads. Car had been hunting on tickover for a while which I attributed to plug wells full of oil.
Going along m4 it suddenly lost at least one cylinder, no fault codes so I assumed dispack blown. Changed dispack but still not firing right.

Any help appreciated!!!

Have plugged in "My Naff Code Reader" havd have live data if it will be of any help! if someone can tell me how to upload!

Omega General Help / compression testing....

« on: 05 April 2010, 15:36:10 »

got my tester, now how do I go about it?

My guess

plenum off, injector rail off, allplugs out pull fuel feed fuse, disconenct LV plug from dis-pack, test each cylinder in turn?

is this the correct way? what results should I be expecting?
