Omega General Help / Omega 2.5TD Facelift Central Locking Problem
« on: 04 August 2015, 16:23:08 »
For the last few months, my remote has not always unlocked / locked the car first time. Last week, I changed the battery in the remote but it has not made any difference.
Today though, I opened the car and drove it about 0.5 miles before locking it again. However, when trying to unlock it again, there is absolutely nothing. The remote does nothing. I tried my spare remote with the new battery and still nothing.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Omega General Help / Re: Facelift Passenger Airbag Removal
« on: 09 June 2015, 22:21:23 »
Thanks. I have seen a utube video of one being unplugged and it seemed to take longer than it would to snip the wires, that was the reason I suggested cutting them. Is it safe after the wires are removed, or is it safe anyway seeing as the battery has been disconnected a few days?

Omega General Help / Facelift Passenger Airbag Removal
« on: 09 June 2015, 19:01:59 »
I am dismantling a 2000 V6 and have got to the Passenger Airbag (The one in the dashboard above the glove compartment). The battery was removed a few days ago. I have removed everything from around the actual airbag. Am I OK to just remove it now and snip the wires or is there anything else I need to do first? Thanks.

@SIR Philbutt
Your tip has worked, so I now have a way of forcing the change from 2nd to 3rd gear.
Does the fact that this method will force the change give a clue as to what the problem definitely is though, to someone who understands what makes the auto box change gear.
One thing I did notice though, is that although this method forces the change of gear, it does not stay 'fixed' as long as it does if the 'Automatic Gearbox Failure' message has been displayed. Maybe this also gives a clue to an Auto Gearbox specialist.

I have just come across this thread and it seems to cover exactly the problem I am experiencing.
Is it difficult to change the 2-3 solenoid and is it the same item in a V6 facelift box as in a TD facelift box?

Sorry for delay in replying but thank you for a very helpful reply.
I will try your tip next time it does it but I do wonder if it could be the solenoid.
I have a spare Omega V6 auto. Would it be the same solenoid on there as on my TD.

I had that problem a couple of years ago and it was a faulty central locking unit. (In the front passenger door in my case)

Do the above vehicles, both Year 2000 CDX facelift models, have the same model of gearbox?
And if so, is the Gearbox electronic control box the same?

Thanks for your reply.
The fluid was changed a couple of years ago and the level is good.
This is an intermittent problem so I cannot understand why software could need updating.

Omega General Help / 2.5TD (BMW Engine) Automatic
« on: 11 September 2014, 10:25:14 »
My 2.5TD (BMW engine) Automatic June 2000 Facelift, regularly fails to change up from 2nd to 3rd Gear at the usual point (around 25mph?)
When this happens, the only way I can cure it is to take it on a road with a higher speed limit and just let it rev high enough so that it does change. This is usually accompanied by a bit of a jolt, followed by an 'Automatic Gearbox' failure message. After this message, I can stop the car, turn it off, wait a few seconds and then start up again and it will be fine - until a few days or weeks later when it does it again. This is the only way to be certain that the fault is fixed, albeit temporarily. On the odd occasion when it has seemingly sorted itself out and changed up, without the jolt and the error message, it usually fails again straight away at the next 'up' change.
I have recently bought (for spares) another Omega, the same year etc but it is a 2.5 V6 petrol.
I do not know if this is a gearbox fault, or an electrical fault but is there a component on the V6, that I could exchange to see if it fixes the problem?
Thanks

@Mowerzilla
I was a little surprised to read your initial comment about the aerial, unless the estate is different but the Omega saloon uses the Heated Rear Window for the antenna.

Jobs a goodun!
Thanks to all who replied in particular RobG.
As a result of your reply I actually removed the fuses.
I had previously just checked that the features controlled by the same fuse were working. However, after removing and checking the fuse, which was fine; I turned on the ignition and the display was working again. I don't know why which is the worrying part but I removed and replaced the fuse a few times and everything is still OK now. This was fuse number 26.
Thanks again.
