I want to break into the rear light cluster wiring to supply my single towbar electrics. Does anyone know what wire colours feed what lamps? Thanks

Omega General Help / Brake wear sensor broken

« on: 27 September 2007, 16:21:22 »

Hi - my display in the car says my brake pads are worn. have took the wheels off and the pads are all nearly new. The sensor wire has nothing on the end of it and is flagging a false fault. Can I bridge the wire out or put it down to earth to clear the fault? I have the car serviced very regulalry so am not particulalry worried about he lazy light.

If i did purchase a new sensor - how do you fit it - I cant see on the caliper hwere it would go?

Thanks again in anticipation - MarkyP

Thanks very much for all your help - the job is done. I also cleaned he ICV whilst I was there. The car is running smoother than it ever has, and no longer cuts out. Did notice though, that there are two bolts broken on the exhaust manifold!! lol maybe the next thread??    8-)

Omega General Help / IACV and small breather pipe

« on: 11 September 2007, 13:22:50 »

     Im not that good with mechanics but have been told on another thread to remove the small breather pipe and test if there is any suction with engine running. There isnt, and therefore I need to clean it. I have removed the end off of the rocker box but cannot get to undo the clip at the other end. It said I had got to clean the jet too - so I started to loosen of the 19mm nut where the other end of the hose terminates - and water started leaking out!   Do I take it I just need to get longer pliers and remove the hose clip, and where is this jet?

Thanks again everyone

Sorry to be a nonce but Im not a great mechanic, but am on a really tight budget so would like to try and see this through as far as I can myself.

Thanks again to you all

I don't know if this is relevant, but I had a new middle and back box fitted yesterday as they had been blowing for some time, and the problem seems to have gotten worse since then

No, it sometimes dips in revs but don't quiet cut out; then the enginer management will just pick it up and raises the revs and it sort of causes the car to lurch a bit if your holding it on the brake at a junction.

Thanks

I have a 1999 2.0i auto estate, which runs okay but frequently cuts at when I pull up at junctions. It seems to be okay from cold, but if I pull up at a shop, and then drive off - it will tend to cut out more. Any ideas please?
