Omega General Help / Re: temp gauge sender ?

« on: 15 May 2014, 18:57:15 »

OK found it, its a short wire coming upwards now connected and the gauge works, thank god for that can't afford any more sensors had to put a new MAF on today and fuel filter, new temp sensor for ECU, crank and cam sensors and she still doesn't sound right. I'm thinking she has a year left then off the great carpark in the sky. Thanks for your help.

OK had a look and there's no wire attached but I can't find a wire hanging that should go on it, where would the wire come from so I might be able to trace it back?

Hi all, this might be a stupid question but I have to ask.
Where on my 2.2 petrol miggy is the sender for the temp gauge, I know there is a sensor in the block for the ECU and I have changed that so it must be one of the 2 on the rad but which one??? Please help

As a long distance driver i use the steering wheel controls all the time much safer to use and some times you can get the kit cheap on ebay.

True,
But like many car luxuries, its just ice to have them.

There is no real point of Cruise control, or even remote central locking (as you have to open the door via the handle anyway to gain access, so you need to be physically next to the car anyway - and how many times have you thought you've locked the car and walked off. Tried to use the remote central locking and it doesn't reach. So you have to go over to the car anyways.)

Just good to have stuff that makes life easier.

Im sorry but as a long distance driver Cruise Control IS one of the best things ever

Well i have the car back now and it seems to be running fine after a new head gasket, i do have the old gasket which i will take a picture of and right a follow up as it may help others in the future. Oh one other thing the garage told me the compression is at 225 per cylinder, is this ok as i think that sounds abit high?

well shes in the garage with the head off and i have been told everything looks fine but the gasket had gone, the fella in the garage doesn't know if it because the head is from a 2L but i heard that that is ok so i have told him to fit new gasket clean it all up and throw it back together he is also replacing the head bolts and checking the valves are seated. im hoping this cures what has so far been the most expensive car i have ever owned.

Well it all started yesterday when i started the car as always started lovely, drove for 1 min then it lost a cylinder then two, so i stopped pulled the coil pack to find the plug wells full of oil and i mean FULL, so i call the RAC as im working away from home so no tools, cleaned it all out but still missing i got towed to a garage were they replaced the rocker gasket and replaced the coil pack for a new one and replaced the plugs only to find still missing 2 cylinders, after a pressure test they found the 2 were at 50 psi one at 160 psi and the other at 260 psi, now there saying maybe new head gasket, maybe new head, maybe scrap a car i have just had a new cam belt, cam sensor, crank sensor, lamba sensor, and many other new parts too. Does anyone have any idea as to why the cylinders are losing so much pressure. And sorry this is so long... Thanks
