Omega General Help / Re: Changed Head Gaskets Now It Won't Start!

Well done on the head gasket replacement. I had mine done recently at the garage and it ocassionally wont start. Did you get yours started eventually. I suspect a badly connected sensor or air pipe will stop thi scar from firing up, so your 'cut' senor leads will almost certainly stop it from starting. Let me know if you sorted it.All sorted now mate and passed it's MOT today. It was the crank sensor after all that was stopping it from firing up. The sheared wire that I found at the back of the engine must have been from the old one that was originally removed. The sensor that was connected up had a mangled wire which was the problem. Once a new sensor was put on she fired up straight away and runs like a dream.

. The problem I now have is that it won't start. She turns over fine and there are no faults coming up on the computer. I do however have an issue with electrics, in that 2 connections on the engine are now missing :question.
, you should have done it yourself mate, there's even a how 2 guide on here. Just had to replace mine after changing my head gaskets, oil cooler and cam belt. Genuine VX part cost me £57 from my local dealership, it took me about 10 minutes all in to fit and it was diagnosed with the paperclip test.
