It's been 6years since I had an Omega, and was on this site!
And now I have another!
I have just per-chased a lovely little number..
an '02 CD 2.2TDi Silver
Love the car.. BUT.....
The EML comes on under load.. Cruising on the motorway, it's fine. But if the road inclines, and I need to put a little pressure on the accelerator, the EML comes on, and it limps.. Struggles up the hill, and 4th gear beckons.
It is also on when idling.. I have a ODB2 reader etc, but strangely no codes are pulled, even with the EML on?
MPG's are in the 50s, and it doesn't splutter, misfire or anything.. Without the EML lit, it's pretty quick, but if I ask too much, blam, no guts.

Any ideas?



Anyway, I'm glad to be back!

No experience with that engine, but I wonder if the code reader is capable?

maf or egr.. vectra also use the same engine.. google it..

Without reading codes it's a guess but MAF is a good candidate

It seems to be over 2k revs under load, and if I drive on a flat like a fairy for a bit, the eml goes off..

Possible lack of fuel - filter?

It's that in the engine bay.

EGR, MAF and fuel filter changed. It still goes into limp mode under load at 2k revs.. I found one vac pipe split, but that cured an idling issue..
Any ideas what happens at 2k revs?

That's what it was with my TD Astra, even though the code was related to the EGR
