Omega General Help / Re: 2.2 any good ?

« on: 01 December 2011, 00:22:54 »

I sold my Carlton 3.0L Diamond estate ( lotus kit and wheels fitted..it was the only one regd in Ireland ) a few months ago and bought a 2.2 Omega estate...for the mpg really...and I'm regretting it.....I play in a band and lug my gear in the estate and have found that 2.2 just isn't enough power...and when it's under pressure I don't seem to be getting anymore mpg than I was from the Carlton which just cruised when fully loaded....both were/are autos because my wife has a problem with her left leg and sometimes she would have to drive it.....she has an auto S Class 320 mercedes and she HATES driving the omega for the simple reason of the lack of power.....New Year I'm gonna buy 3.0 or 3.2

Got car on diagnostic this morning and showed fault with the throttle/pedal housing...I asked what the code was but the guy had cleared the faults and couldn't remember the code......he told me that if it happens again, to switch off,wait about 20-30 minutes and the fault would reset....is this true?.

Omega General Help / Car stays in 'idle'

« on: 26 November 2011, 17:06:36 »

I was driving and suddenly my car 2.2 petrol lost full power and would only idle....I switched off the engine and restarted it but it was still the same...when I selected 'drive' the warning sign read 'automatic gearbox'....I was able to 'limp' the car home in 1st gear..........any ideas as to what the problem is
    Thanks

Omega General Help / Slow through the gears

« on: 15 July 2011, 00:29:51 »

Hi...this is my 1st post...I've just bought a 2.2 Estate Petrol AUTO  but I find it very sluggish going through the gears..I would have thought that being a 2.2 it would have had more pulling power...it's ok when crusing but it revs the hell out of the engine when moving off or when going up steepish hills...I noticed today a ''gearbox' check on the display but it went out again.
   Thanks

Hi..my name is Kevin and I've just bought my 1st Omega....I sold my 3.0L Lotus Rep Diamond Estate and purchased a 2.2 Omega Estate Auto...( was really looking for a 2.6 Auto but I had to buy this one as I'd no transport ).big drop in power but big savings in MPG...although I don't think it's going right....but I'll post that question in the help section
