Omega General Help / Particle filter

« on: 27 April 2012, 17:47:31 »

Hi all, driving my 2.2 diesel 03 reg this morning the exhaust warning light came on and i suffered a drop in power, after about 2 mins it cleared itself, then about 20 mins later it came on again, this time it cut out. I got it restarted and managed to get to work. I rang the aa and they came out , the machanic said it was the particle filter, and said if it comes on rev the engine to about 3000 rpm and it should clear itself, is this an easy repair and how much , have also noticed fuel comsumption is down , thanks for any help

« on: 10 February 2012, 19:31:16 »

Hi, i've just purchased a 2.2 diesel elite on a 03 plate and would like to know if it's cam belt driven or timing chain, the guy i brought it from told me it was timing chain, not knowing too much about motors i'd like to put my mind at rest, if it's a cam belt i'd like to get it changed, then i know its been done, many thanks

Hi guys, not really a peoblem just need my mind put at rest. This week with temperatures around -4 on my drive to work i noticed the engine temp takes a long time to start to climb, it's about a 15 min drive to work and hot air soon comes out of the vents, but engine temp is barely registuring, do you think a tempory fix would to put a bit of card board in front of the radiator, cheers

Thanks lads, all sorted now, had a right bugger of job doing it though, not being the most agile of persons i found myself only to be able to manage about 10 mins at a time with my head in the foot well. Ater 2 hours of messing about i called my nephew and he had it done in about 20 mins, will cost me a few beers no doubt. many thanks for the advice, it was exactley my problem and it's nice to get warm air now, cheers
