Omega General Help / Re: pulling to the left

« on: 07 June 2009, 21:55:08 »

Lower wishbone bushes and possibly idler arm. You will need to get these done at least the lower arms and the anti roll bar drop links. Once you have this done then get the car geomtry aligned. Just getting the tracking done will not be enough the car needs to be reset to the manufactures set up.

Wayne................................

[size=24]DO NOT LISTEN TO OR TAKE YOU CAR TO THE DEALERS AS THEY TALK ALOAD OF SHITE. YOUR HEADGASKET IS NOT THE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE A SLIGHT WATER LEAK WHICH NEEDS SORTING. YOUR HEATING PROBLEM IS TO DO WITH YOUR VACUUM SET UP I.E  THE VACUUM PIPES ARE THE WRONG WAY ROUND. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT THE GUYS ON HERE STATE, THEY KNOW THE OMEGAS INSIDE OUT. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THEY WILL HELP YOU TO SORT IT OUT. ALWAYS PUT YOUR PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE WITH YOUR MIG ON HERE FIRST.[/size]

Sorry to all the others members on here for shouting but I beleive this is the only way that Wayne will take note of what we all are saying.

I think they are stuck on with body moulding tape, but some also put a couple of screws in as well to make sure it it secure.

Omega General Help / Re: Crankshaft sensor

Can't get the old cable out as its trapped by the dis pack area so will need to pull the top end off to get to it to sort out.

Thanks Jamie I thought it was. The unfortunate thing is I got one of the garages to have a look for me as I couldnt move it and he ahs found out that the cable is traped near the dis pack somewhere so that has now been aborted until I can strip the top half down to see whats happened.

Omega General Help / Crankshaft sensor

« on: 29 May 2009, 14:12:22 »

Just a quick question but is the crankshaft sensor on the V6 3.0ltr, just by the oil filter? If so whoever replaced it last time decided to thread it throught the two pipes, which I think are the oil cooler pipes, and can't get it out. Plus cant even see where the cable goes either.

Omega General Help / Re: Cutting out

« on: 17 May 2009, 20:59:28 »

I have got the same problem, Just checked and my fault code is 19 which I beleive is the crank sensor starting to break down.

Paul

Is that an easy change, expensive?

Its an easy fix but fiddley more than anything. On trade club its about £39 + vat. I have a post up as well so just waiting for the replies.

I have just done the paperclip test and the code that has come up is code 19. I take it this is pointing to the crank sensor?

I have cleaned the iacv, all breather pipes are clear, black eco box is clear, everything has been cleaned. The only other thing I can do is do another paperclip test and go from there.
