Thanks for all your replies. New Bosch coil pack, so the spouts are all new, the old ones were split and shocking. (!?) Hasn't made the slightest difference, so I don't think it's that. Most problems arise when I start it after work, seems OK when it's cold in the morning. In the afternoon its Lumpy, well out of balance engine light comes on., mostly OK after chokes off. Seems electrical cos it can happen sudden after 30+ miles of smooth running. I HATE intermittent faults!
Cam sensor next I think? Tried a code reader, only came up with a c0100 code that no one seems to recognise .

Omega General Help / 2.2 running rubbish

« on: 23 July 2015, 21:11:26 »

Hello all, my 2.2 started running poorly on start up when cold, like it was chugging on 3 cylinders. I cleared the oil breathers a little while ago . when I whipped the coil pack off I found the plug wells full of oil... The usual story. Gasket replaced, plugs replaced, coil pack replaced, still doing it. One moment its fine, then like a switch has been flicked, no power and chugging on 3, engine light on.
Had it plugged in at garage, the only code it pulled off was c0100 which I can't find referenced anywhere.
I'm open to suggestions what to try next? I bought this car a year ago at random since it was cheap and mot'd but its really grown on me, and I don't want to scrap this one!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wiring in a new subwoofer

« on: 04 August 2014, 16:40:51 »

Hi All,

Just finished fitting a new stereo head unit into my newly acquired 2003 2.2 petrol omega (auto).

I'm trying to route a battery cable to the boot subwoofer/ amp unit. basically i need this cable to go from the battery to the boot area, but i'm having trouble locating a route from the battery into the car. does anyone have any experience of this? usually i find a rubber grommeted cable i can slide it alongside to get inside the car, but i'm really struggling (I've had this set up in several cars now)

btw the standard speakers in the omega are far superior to the standard stereo i removed! (cdr 2005 vdo)

any useful suggestions are appreciated!

Pete
