Ok so i did start to have a go at changing it myself.....but gave up after 1/2hr and took it to the garage.

After letting it cool down for an hour....so they wouldnt burn themselves, they did it.....took em about an hour and they removed the dipstick metal shroud to get access to it.

And at one stage i was very hopefull it was going to be the crank sensor, coz they had to move my car 1/2 way through and with the old crank sensor removed, the car still started!! after a 5 sec struggle tho. So I thought hmmmm.....same symptoms with it connected!!

But its made no difference.......in fact i lie, it has, its worse   .

EML is now on all the time......with a P0700 code that wont reset
And when it struggles to start (5secs) and goes into limp mode it records P1700 as well, tho this will reset.

Good news is the cam sensor error has disapeared!! Dont ask me why tho!! Thats confused me......change the crank sensor and the cam sensor error goes away......but the fault doesnt!

I am now totally lost as whats wrong with it!

So its now had....

MAF sensor
Engine ECU
Gearbox ECU
Cam sensor
Crank sensor

Only good thing that has happend today.......it decided to drip water while it was at the garage.....and we found the leak......jubilee clip not tight on a T joint next to HBV......so my water leak is fixed  
And i also changed the plastic washer to fix the clunk of doom on the drivers door.....thanks to Jaime's guide  

Anybody any ideas.........

Has anyone with a 2.2 with the same prob.....resolved it yet?

Cheers

Jesus Christ TD! I take it the car is still under warranty? How long till it runs out?

It is .....until next month....networkq (well sorta).

Vx dealer changed the MAF sensor
Engine ECU
Gearbox ECU
Cam Sensor

Under warranty......then said basically we wont look at it again until the the lpg conversion is removed....yes physically removed.
Prob is....if i shout and stamp my feet....vx dealer might tell networkq its being used as a taxi.....which invalidates the warranty......so any further work or even worse, work that has already been done, i might be liable for paying for!

So thats the reason I shelled out £60 for the crank sensor and £40 to my local garage to fit it.

Surely the time you are spending in the garage and not cabbing must be costing you a fortune. You're gonna have to buy a toyota mate (Sorry )

From the codes, sounds like g/box ain't happy...   ...I'd go with a fluid/filter change and see what happens then.

Can your cheapo lead read g/box? Any codes in there?

I dont understand why P0700 wont reset   and why its got worse (ie not resetting P0700) after the crank sensor changed.

Cheapo lead used to able to read g/b codes untill vx changed the g/b ecu, now it wont  

Ok....i'll go for g/b oil and filter change next then.....

If that doesnt sort it......then im undecided what to do..... :-/

If its affecting your business, theres only one thing you can do TD

[STMO123]

BUY mine

BUY mine

Sorry m8.....its too old.   ...i can get max 6 years old on non exec cars by local council rules....
Local council only counts jags, mercs, etc as exec cars....then you can get 7 years

So cheapo lead can't read new g/box ecus.

the 1700 code mentioned CAN. I didn't think Omegas had CAN apart from CID...??

I will happily read your g/box ecu if you are ever out this way...

Sorted. All you need is a fare to Northamptonshire!

Have you read the TIS for fixing the prob Jaime? .....i just did (oooppss no i didnt coz i dont have it   )

P1700.....error...click on that....then asks if you have P0700 as well....click on the tick to confirm....then it says its Engine or Gearbox ECU is the fault......so i guess thats why vx dealer changed em both  

Im happy to have you read the codes any time you want Jaime......im getting to the end of my tether on this car now......PM me if you like....when you are free and I'll be there
