Back again and none the wiser.....
Car was left with the dealer on monday who ran their tests and felt they now know how to repair....
Kept the car all week waiting for a part an 'ECU control unit or something linked to the gear box'??? Make any sense...
Got the call that we could collect the car late last night or forst thing this morning between 9 & 12....
As we pulled into the dealership at 11:45 got a call from them advising us that the light came on again!!!
So back to square one!!!
Is it true that their computer runs through a sequence of possible problems and they need to try each one individually until the hit the true problem?
Bascially told them we love the car but are not prepared to constantly be on the look out for this problem and there will have to come a point when they will stop repairing the car and start charging us....
Have to speak to sales manager about getting my money back.....
I know its probably going to be a long drawn out battle but dont know what else to do....
Any advice??

The light is now on constant...
It can be sluggish - but with a restart goes back to normal - yet light stays on.

QuoteSounds like the supplying dealer is a good bullsh1tter!The engine symbol with a spanner though it (Americans use wrenches
) is the Engine Managment Light and it's telling you there's a fault somewhere. You need the car plugging into a code reader to find out what the fault is.
I agree there is no such thing as a service light and the only sure way of diagnosing the fault is with a code reader.
Tell us the symptoms (if any) and where you are in the country as someone nearby might have a code reader.
Im in northern ireland....taking it back to dealer on tuesday - they should do that test (hopefully)

Starts fine, only symptons we can find are that sometimes when you start there is a lack of power - so a restart gives it the zip back.
Also i read that this light can increase fuel consumption???

Hello people....
New Omgea owner here and seeking some advice - cant find the answer in the FAQ.
Problem is i just bought a 2001 2.2CDX Automatic Trasmission Omega from a dealer - 3 weeks ago.
During the test drive there was a light on the dash of a car with a wrench - we were assured this was the 'service light' and would be gone when they service the car after purchase.
Loved the car so bought it and true enough the light was gone - for a day or 2..... At first it flashed upon engine starting and then it stayed on.
Our user manual said at this point it needed service as i think it was an electric fauly ??
So returned it to dealer who said it was an airflow issue with fuel getting to engine and they 'flushed' valves or something....
Well last night the light returned and i want to get some info on this problem before i call the dealer and fight the good fight again....
Anyone help???
Basically im not the most technical sort in the world so would like to know.....
What is that light REALLY for
What causes the problem
How it can be fixed - is it a big job
Cost
And is it a serious problem.....
Oh and HI - love the forum and used your passion for the cars in our decision to mnake the purchase
Thanks in advance....
