Hello,
New to the forum.
My Omega 2.2 auto seems ok. Changes seem fine most of the time, except after going up a hill and then coming to a halt it seems to stay in first too long. I think this because it revs up to 3-4000rpm. I haven't checked the fluid etc.yet.
Thanks
Stuart.

Yep. Fluid. And check for cam sensors codes if possible. Sends the four pot autos loopy.
-
Regards this fault: I have taken it to a couple of places and now a transmission specialist and they say there are transmission error codes due to slipping auto box. Recommended way forward is a new box and possibly also control module.
Is it worth pursuing another box? What's the most efficient way of getting one fitted?
Quoted £1400 for refurb box, which seems a bit OTT.
Thanks very much
Stuart.

Yes but did they check the fluid level... If that's low or past it's best, the box will slip like a very slippy thing... ::)
-
I don't think they did. I will ask them. I thought they would look at the fluid for me, and don't know yet why they skipped past this.
Thanks

Good chance they dont know How To.
May help if you put your location in your profile. You could get a gearbox from here.

I agreed this morning that I would pay for the fluid to be checked but they seem to think it is not worth it, just from a scan of the transmission error codes. Just recommend new gearbox. I need to read up on how autos work!
-
Tricky from the wrong end of a keyboard, as the normal checks and occasional fixes have been missed.
Is there a cam sensor code in the engine Ecu? (4pots)
Is the fluid level correct?
Is the fluid serviced or in good condition?
Are there any solenoid codes in box Ecu?
If non of that helps then yes, swap the box out.
-
Also, check the brown plugs behind the battery are fully secured.

After the mot last week, the eml was on and I think there was a fault code which was P 0700. In the past have also had the cam sensor code. My garage man didn't think it was the cam sensor because you get poor running at idle, and it runs smoothly. I don't think I have been able to scan the transmission codes before. I haven't done any maintenace to the transmission, and my usual garage didn't seem to want to check it. The obvious thing wrong with the car is this delayed shifting, but there may be other effects someone who knew the cars would spot, regards shifting or torque.

Sounds to me like your listening and talking to both omega owners and your garage and doing little with either.
If not believing(or whatever reason ) what's said on this thread have a look through the forum via the search or google. You'll find the same stuff over several years.
...can lead the horse to water etc.
Thing is its entirely possible to change the box and still have the fault if it's another cause. Equally it's entirely possible that all those hoops can be jumped through and checked only to find the box is indeed oppsed.
The 2.2 though, doesn't really have the power to stress the box, although they do fail, so it's wise to check the things listed where appropriate.
