Omega 2.2 DTI engine electrical fault
« on: 29 February 2008, 18:47:27 »
Hi all,

I've just developed an engine electrical fault on my 2001 estate (Only owned the car a week!) The light seem's to come on when the car is warm and once on the car goes into what I think is a safe mode and the rev counter stops working?

I realise that I will have to get the ECU checked for error codes but does this sound like a common (Or expensive  ::)) fault and does anyone know a good auto electrician in South Birmingham?

Cheers,

Mark

Stick your car details and location in your profile .. saves being asked a zillion times !!  :)

If you have a 2.5 V6 you can paperclip it to get codes

The 2.2 DTI does not respond to the paperclip test or a lo of the generic code readers.
You need either proper tech 2 or one of the better generic readers to get the diagnosis right.

If it comes up with a fuel pump not getting a speed signal problem try the crank sensor before changing the pump.

Best of luck,

OK thanks Steve,

Would the crank sensor be affected by heat? I have diven the car 3 or 4 times now and the error has appeared after 3 miles each time?

Sorry, dont know about 2.2DTi ones. Certainly v6 ones are often heat related...

After reading through this I think I will try changing the crank sensor. Where can I pick one up at a reasonable price?
