...or lack of them... :-\
Just an idle thought at the moment, but the forum seems to be getting an increasing number of requests for help relating to the 2.2 dti engined model, and there aren't many maintenance guides to assist...
I have recently picked up a relatively high mileage (163k) 2002 dti elite, which has what I would consider to be a fairly normal service history (roughly every 20k, as per Vxl's somewhat misguided recommendations). I would therefore expect this engine to be in dire need of some decent maintenance.
As I picked the car up for peanuts, and I'm not desperate to get it on the road, I would be more than happy to use this car to document the common problems and remedials, for the benefit of other members., with the end result hopefully being an excellent set of mainenance guides.
I'm a complete novice when it comes to this engine, so I would need to call on the experts here to assist along the way...
-
Im always in favour of more guides :y
-
I intend to do a bit of servicing/picture taking in the near future :y
-
I know, Jack all about the 2.2 Dti (including the other models) but any guide that will help others is always a worth while exercise James.
Gets my vote.
:y :y
-
Much as I want to vote with the "Devil's Fuel" option I do agree that there are very few guides for the 4 pot Diesel.
So knock yourself out James :y :y
-
Go for it James :y :y
I would contribute more if my DTi was unreliable, but all that's wrong with him in nearly five years is the injector seals have gone (which I still need to do). I just keep him full of fuel & remember not to park him facing up hill.
I changed the glow plugs a while back for which I posted up a "how to".
-
Well that seems like a pretty good response so far... :y
Perhaps we could start off by listing all the jobs that might need doing? Then we can put them is some form of sensible order and go from there?...
-
Sounds good too me.
Never remember to take any pictures or write guides when I do anything on my DTi... Probably because it's my daily car and everything tends to get done in a rush to keep it on the road..... While the V6 sits on the drive wondering if it'll every go more than 10 miles a week!

I was gona do a "how to" when I changed the starter motor, but I didn't have time to take the pics etc.

I had thought there were not many about on the forum :)
I'll post up a how-to once I've figured out why the glow-plugs are not coming on as they should.

Glow plugs only come on momentarily in warmer temperatures.
Glow Plug Relay mounted in top edge of triangular relay box by battery, worth checking if the CTS is reading the right temperature as well.
Be careful removing glow plugs as they have a habit of siezing in the head and snapping off, follow Pete's guide on this one :y
-
More guides always help members, as do spotting errors or finding better ways in existing guides :y

Good Man James, you know it makes sense.
Here's your first one on the list of priorities.
How To - replace your 2.2 Dti Engine with a 3.2 V6 setup.
;)

I'll let you boys worry about that one. I'm far more interested in keeping the dti lump, and getting it running as sweet as possible. :y

Those that harp on about you should have a V6 & not a diesel. I wonder actually how many have owned a diesel ::) ::)
I don't mean driven, actually owned for enough time to have an opinion.

Note that quite a few of us DTi owners also own V6's.... also note which one we drive most of the time....

Quite like diesels. Just not Omega diesels - the Omega manual is a god awful gearbox, and the TD auto is so uneconomical...

I have had 2 Mig Diesels both Estates, although 2.5TDs, first was an Auto which I got shot off, 2nd a Manual, which was my work horse for a few years before laying her up to rest, would I have another one?,probably would actually and might still do although currently playing around with LPG.
My first proper Diesel mind converter was in fact a BM 325TDSE a ramaped Manual, fantastic little car with good drive-ability, in fact it was this car that got me going into Omega's as I needed an Estaste and the then 3 series TD Estates didn't fit the bill for me.
So you can blame a Diesel for my affair with Omega's now. ;) ;)

i had a 2.2dti cdx saloon, all leather with the sunroof, owned it for over 2years, wish i still had it, took me a year to get it how i wanted it.
replaced all discs and pads, seats doors cards, doors, ( same job as all other omegas)
i replaced the turbo which was easier than i thought, it had a whistle and didnt boost as good as it should of done
replaced glow plugs the warning light stayed on for a few seconds after engine was started because they were knackered
replaced a washer from the oil feed to turbo, think this is a common fault and makes it look like the turbo is faulty or cracked
the 2.2dti responds well to an oil and filters change.
all in a great car but then i`ve never driven a lpg 3L auto
-
forgot to mention
the crank pulley is prone to separating and the outer part falling off!
£80 part and provided you can crack the crank bolt its not too big of a job
-
An how to is in the "Test Section" for an Admin to move.
Thanks.

I'll help in anyway I can for the Dti knowledge that I have :y
