Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Speedo Dancing

« on: 21 December 2014, 16:51:38 »

Any Idea on cost of this as I am seriously considering outing the car as its starting to cost me. One other thing I noticed about the same time is that the lights on Icon no longer illuminates on the dash on either side or headlights.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Speedo Dancing

« on: 21 December 2014, 16:41:20 »

I have a 2003 Omega 2.6 V6 Auto Estate I've been having a few problems with. One has been ongoing and has been answered in the forum before with regard to Engine Management light after replacing the Cat.

The new problem is my Speedo now will not indicate proper speed and dances around like it at a disco. I was told that it is the Gearbox Speedo Sensor by a mechanic but when I approached a seller on eBay he told me "The speedo on the Omega B is driven by the signals from the ABS sensors. Usually when the speedo, cruise, trip computer etc start playing up it is the ECU attached to the ABS pump that is the problem. You need to get it checked out with a diagnostic's scanner and if faulty, repaired or replaced" I am loosing patience with my local garage and hoping someone here can give me some sound advice before I get rid of the car.

Omega General Help / Fault Code P0420 Catalyst Low Bank 1

« on: 13 October 2014, 16:02:47 »

I have an Omega 2.6 V6 Estate 03 plate and I had the above error code come up. Initially the garage changed the sensor but within 6 days I had the management light up again. They then changed the Bank 1 Catalytic Converter again this worked for about a week then the light came up again. The car has gone in twice and they have fitted spacers but on both occasions within days the same error comes up. I am now being told I will probably have to have a Vauxhall Manufactured Cat fitted and they apparently cost an arm and a leg.

Has anybody come across this before and if so what did you do to solve it ?

Many Thanks

Dave
