Read the fault codes anyway.....and report back.....possible code 19!
Thank god the cold start injectors are done away with!
It's the extended pulse system that the X25XE uses; 7th injectors etc went out with the loss of the old L-Jetronics..
There are several reasons why the really cold temperature could cause start issues, and also even more that are just a coincidence.
There's only one ECU temperature sensor, which should still work fine at temperatures much lower than we get here.
Does (for some strange reason) the Engine ECU light flash after a failed start? Will it fire if you keep the starter going for longer?
I've found it to be both useful and intensely annoying all at the same time. I do many motorway miles and a few times I've been saved from 10 mile of solid traffic after the motorway has been closed. Most times if it says 10 or 15 minutes delayit's not always worth turning off, but when it says "severe delay - avoid" it's a life saver.
It is very annoying though because it keeps interrupting - normally when there's someting good on the radio.
QuoteI have driven 5 Omegas.
Everyone pulled to the left.
3 I know the geometry was set up correctly as per Vauxhall's manual.
I don't really notice it unless I have been driving the XJ-S a lot.
I have been told that the Omega pulls to the left as a charecteristic (sp?) of the car.
Am I wrong, please do tell.
Cheers.
This means absolutely bu66er all. Mine pulled to the left until I paid Tony at Wheels-in-Motion a visit. He set the geometry to the correct settings, not just "within the book" OK but perfect and with an understanding of what he was doing, and now there's no pull whatsoever
QuoteBy the sounds of it my '99 pre facelift 2.5 Elite has already been done (it has a almost full main dealer history).Only way is to plug in tech2 and see whats there, Afaik. There is no reason why a dealer would plug in tech2 for a service. Why do you think it has the latest software? Have you asked for a diagnostic? Even then they would not bother with the update most likely. You would have to ask for the update specifically and that would cause some head scratching. My 3.2 has full service history, not that its worth much, every out and bolt they touched was massively over tight. The Boy updated it on the first session. All as it left the factory until he worked his magic. Much better now.
Is there any way of telling, ie a paperclip type test?
I fear you over rate your dealer, although there are some good ones out there. Chances are though yours is still original version. Bit of a bugger your so far from civilisation.:-) Alton is the nearest to you i believe, as it stands?
