Have you stripped A cleaned the fuel lift pump?

It's on the list to do tomorrow

Back off the hols and more chance to look at it...

Poor tickover seems to only occur when in "Park" and "N" other wise when "on load" it seems to tick over reasonably nicely although when slowing down it gives a bit of a cough.

On another note anyone know how to get rid of an airlock in the PAS system... i though it would have cured itself after nearly 300 miles. It won't turn right easily

Well one down, and I have another can to try as no real improvement. Still ticks over like a bag of nails. Fine on the run, accelerates like a scolded cat, but it would with a V6 diff in it 

No real black smoke, except when chugging on tick over.

I'll try the other can when I get back off holidays, but for now it's got me beat.

no smoke except on tickover ? thats a strange one, if it performs well in other areas, is the engine mechanically noisy?
cos that dont half sound like the chain has slipped, hope it isnt but did you by chance turn the engine backwards when lining the gearbox up? if it is this you will have to remove the timing cover and use the special tool to hold the pump in place while you renew the chains and guides!!  Elite Pete has recently done this job if it turns out thats the fault, hope its not but it could be

Bugger hope not, but I honestly can't remember if I did turn the engine backwards. It only puts out a puff of black smoke when it is missfiring (?) , and it doesn't do that all the time. I'm up for just general gunked-up-ness. When I had the inlet off, it was thick with black goo. When I get back i'll give it a good service and see what the result is.

Oh and I desperatly need to sort the gearbox ecu map out, that possibly isn't helping

Omega General Help / 64 Fuel Quantity Control Out of Range

« on: 17 September 2010, 20:33:38 »

Well the only problem (other than the wrong coding for the autobox) I appear to be left with is Error 64. I have been through the check list for the Actuator as per TIS and have drawn a blank.

I guess as I have shaken a lot of stuff around I might have disturbed a load of crud and it's just bunging stuff up, so a general service would be the first step.

The car seems to run reasonable well other than idle, which it really struggles to do, misses etc

I guess I may have a pipe or connector on the wrong bit, but there is nothing I can see.

I'm no diesel expert so could do with a few poiters to look at.

I'm on holidays for a week from sunday, so I'm not going to be near the car to try stuff, but will try and keep in touch with the forum.... perhaps

Speaking of which - does anyone know what the latest dated discs are?

I have a 2002 in mine (or will, when I fix the GPS!) .. (Max, you could borrow mine for a bit if you want - it's no use to me for the moment!)

Unless you want to drive round romford...

Fan for cooling the ECU/fuse box lives against the 'A' piller under the passenger front wing, and blows air via a tube to the fusebox. Had them on all 3 of the omega's I have had (MV6, 2.5 V6 and TD)

Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 idle problems/surging

« on: 01 October 2010, 21:49:00 »

this the same car with the TC light on after the gearbox change?

The ABS ECU config does have a bearing on Idle..
I had a blank config on mine which caused bad idle and stalling, the correct program fixed these issues 

[hijack]
Is this true on a TD ??

Thanks for that Kneepad, mine was right, so that rules that one out

Ok, I went to get some pics for you but it's  too dark.
I'll try to explain as I see it on mine.
The whole "EGR" assembly consists of 3 parts.  1:The top part is the bonnet switch, ignore this. 2:Under that you have the MAP sensor with one pipe which connects to the underside of the intake manifold. 3:Under this you have the EGR solenoid with two pipes, the one with the blue tracer goes to the EGR valve at the front of the intake manifold. The other goes to the small filter then on to the hard plastic pipe that runs parallel with the Intake manifold.
There is no oil pipe. Unless you have a different setup from me.
I'll get some pics tomorrow for you.   

Hmm thanks for that info, I have a horrible feeling mine is all the wrong way round, I have no blue trace tube (perished and replaced)

Pictures will be great

Omega General Help / Re: Reprogramming autobox ECU

« on: 15 September 2010, 21:10:21 »

Hmmm, Marks DTM in Nottigham is probably closest....   ....not sure I'd trust such a task to garage/dealer, who would probably say it needs a new ECU.


Note, its only reprgrammable is its a 1998 or later ecu...

That's my feeling too, the last thing I wanted was a dealer poking about with it. It should be flashable as it's a 99 MY

Omega General Help / Reprogramming autobox ECU

« on: 15 September 2010, 21:00:18 »

Ok first "real" issue now i'm running. the autobox ecu still thinks it is being driven by a V6 rather than a TD.

Any one of you clever chaps/chapesses out there able to reprogram the ECU with a diesel map, oh and is reasonably close

Ow yes, try not to drop the bolts into the bell housing 

And how many times did I do this....

Omega General Help / Re: Changing Engine/gearbox to newer model

« on: 04 September 2010, 18:17:53 »

Oh and the real clincher is that the body shell is different, I have had real problems mounting the autobox and various coolers. I still have to work out how to secure the self leveling pump. It's under the front wing on a petrol, but it and it's wiring move to just behind the autobox somewhere on a TD.

Not that I would want to put you off, but don't expect it to be easy

I have done this 99 model V6 to 2.5 TD and it really is a lot of work, I have been without a car for 4 weeks now.

Later tonight I will post a potted history of the stuff I have had to do, but certainly the worst part was sorting the electrics

BTW I still don't have a moving vehicle (It does start but not move yet)
