Omega General Help / Re: Cam covers oil in plug holes

« on: 08 October 2008, 09:47:52 »

Ok thanks for that by the sound of it the breather pipes could be blocked would that cause poor fuel economy im guessing it would. the only thing that baffles me is that performance seems to be ok and i dont get the smoke in the morning its only on the return jurney to nottingham in the afternoon that i get it. Maybe its because when i pull up at work the oil is dripping onto the manifold and building up and then burning of on the return jurney

Omega General Help / Cam covers oil in plug holes

« on: 08 October 2008, 09:25:30 »

Hello all again whilst sorting my car out with the new crank sensor i discoverd that i have oil in every plug hole ? would this be the cam gaskets? and if so is it a big job to put right i have been told that its a bit of a pain ? Have smoke coming out of the engine bay and its getting to the point where people are papping there horns to tell me that there is smoke coming from it   as if i cannot see it or smell it.

My Partner bless her kicked up a stink at sutton Auto Factors and the rest is history. God i hope this is the problem but with what has been said cannot see how it can be anything else  

I hope they are sending the right one....as there are two connector varients (hence why I posted the Vx part number!)

Happy days everyone first turn of the key last night at 20.30hrs it fired up many thanks for everyones help  

Excellent, a nice easy (and not to expensive) fix then  

Only took me around 20 mins to fit and cost me £45.00 Inc Vat

Give sutton auto factors (acton road Long Eaton) a call and see if they have a sensor in stock and collect on your way home....

It's a special order they can get one in for tomorrow he asked if it was a 3 pin connection? Any ideas

It is a 3 pin connection (they all are!)

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't the code 19 come up every time anyway?? Due to car not starting??

The code 144 is probably more pertinent being "Immobiliser No Signal " ??  

I would go back to basics, checking connections to battery, try strating with your spare key etc etc

Just my thoughts

Nope, 31 is the standard code for a non running engine, 19 is a crank sensor bad signal. Immobiliser codes are often flagged under crank sensor faults.

The crank sensors are easy to fit, where abouts in Nottingham are you?

Im in long Eaton
4 Chesterfield Avenue
Just off Station Road
NG10 2DT

I really wanted to get it running today if possible but at the min im at work in leicster and will not be back home till about 4pm
