Omega General Help / 2.5td intermittent power loss
« on: 30 December 2010, 13:37:31 »
Hello all forum members
After many months a passive viewer of this helpful and amusing forum ,I have finally summoned up the effort to join in the hope that someones greater knowledge of the marque can assist.
I have a 97 elite 2.5 td estate auto with 90 K. A great car now with many electrical faults which I can live with, but has now developed an unusual power loss problem. Whilst driving at relatively low speed say below 40 mph ,the engine power will suddenly decrease without warning and not rev beyond about 2000 rpm . The engine does not stall , misfire , and if left to tickover for a short time will resume normal service after a short period. This does not happen after a specific time of running and is unpredictable in frequency .
After recently changing all glow plugs , fuel filter , oil filter , airfilter and cleaning injectors I`m happy with these elements but a bit concerned the car may go into permanent `limp` mode whilst out and about. I`m not keen for the family to be in this position if the wifey is driving .Can anyone give me some pointers on this ?
Also is it normal for the front tyres oute sdges to wear prematurely on this model? tracking and camber are fine . I`ve heard they eat fronts at an alarming rate - Michelins a bit pricy in that case !
I`m looking for a towbar of anyone has got one for sale
many thanks for any help given
