1999 2.5 v6, occasionally( at the moment) the gear box will stay in 1st gear until rev's reach 4k it usually then works ok. It may be coincidence but this seems to occur more often if the car has not been used for a couple of days. Is this the start of something terminal? Will the fault be able to be read on a diagnostic meter or 'paperclip' test.
I have no heat at all coming from climate control/heater, I have flushed matrix and checked for air lock,both in and out matrix pipes get hot, replaced heater bypass valve, replaced heater control panel. Heater flaps appear to be moving, either way it is cold air both sides front and back. I have come to the point of no futher ideas, any help gratefully received.
Just done paper clip test as engine imobiliser light came on, well I'm told 'intake manifold voltage low' and 'mass air flow sensor voltage low' well it's all greek to me! Please help, I hear the word expensive in the wind. (Merseyside)
My electronics immobiliser warning light on consol has just come on, the one like a little orange engine, what does it mean, car continues to drive, handbook says go to Vauxhall but that sounds expensive!
I have same problem, have changed HBV and been assured that matrix is OK and all sensors working, going into 3rd garage on monday so will let you know outcome. Having gone through the general help section previous problems seem to relate to patial or only warm heating as opposed to none at all, I've frozen for a month now!
Have read the query about heating on only one side but I have no heating at all, just cold air throughout car. 1999 2.5 v6, not loosing water, water going thro matrix, engine temp normal, recently replaced matrix vacuum valve. I have now endured 1 month freezing driving. Help! any suggestions? or contacts in Merseyside area.
1999 2.5 v6 with no heat at all into car, heater matrix is working and water is fowing through it, heater matrix valve replaced, no leakages in system, temp OK, blowers working, allsensors OK, Help!
recently had same problem, needed new ecu unit and with fitting (which is a very fiddley ) came to £400ish. I think replacement ECU was £120, you can get recon units with 12 month guarentee.
