Omega General Help / Re: MV6 Management Light with chugging at low Revs

ok, so could that be?  I am no mechanic, but my brother is handy when it comes to cars.  What do you suggest I ask him to do, or would you advise it needs to be looked at by a garage?

Hi Guys, thanks for the advice.  I am new to this so the technical jargon is a little beyond me, sorry, lol.

Did the pedal test, and flashed as below;

10 3 10 10
10 3 10 2

What does this mean?

Sorry, Pedal Trick??  What does that mean?

Is leaking cam covers expensive?  I only paid 600 quid for the car, so if it is anything too expensive, I will probably sell it for a few hundred quid to any memeber that is intrested!

Omega General Help / MV6 Management Light with chugging at low Revs

« on: 16 July 2013, 23:24:57 »

Hi All

I am new to Omega's and bought a 2003 MV6 2 weeks ago.  Today pulled off my drive and noticed chugging at low revs with a loss of power.  The Engine Management light then flashed for 10 seconds, and then stayed on permanently.  Turned car off and on again, the same happened.

Anyway drove it to work with no over heating or anything, just chigging at low revs with a small loss of power.

On the way home from work, Engine management light was permenantly on as soon as the car was started with the same chugging at lows revs.  Strangely, when I pulled over half way home, and started the car again when hot, the chugging has disappeared and full power restored (Engine Management light still on though).

Went out this evening, same chugging again.  As soon as car gets to normal temp, I turn off and on again, then normal power restored. 

Any pointers as to what this could be?

Thanks, Ollie
