Omega General Help / Re: Auto gearbox judder / shudder

« on: 08 December 2013, 21:09:11 »

Sounds like torque converter shudder to me. My 5 series does it a bit. Its like clutch judder on a manual. There is a product called 'mr tranny shudder fix' that can stop it. Have a google.

I'm in Coventry. Thanks-I have the tools but I have never had plugs so tight before. I left them in the end as I was running out of time. After refitting No 4 lead it still missed so I calmed down and went back to it 10 min later. Didnt miss at all..!  The outlaws turned up to collect it and it started up and ran ok. The drove off the driveway and as they went up the road i'm sure I heard it stutter a bit.
Could it be anything to do with the key as it all went south after I had changed the fob battery?
I'll find out how its running tomorrow but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Pulled the leads and its No 4 which is not firing. However, I cant undo the spark plugs- seems like they have been really tightened in by the garage that used to service it. Anyone got any ideas..
I tried to sync the key but nothing happens- doors dont lock as they should.

The remote doesnt work on the key so have to lock/unlock with key. However, every time the car is unlocked the alarm goes off until the car is started. Can it be dissabled somehow? If I just dissconnect the power sounder will that work?

Right. Seat fixed. Thermostat changed and now ok. The power mirror switches were a biy dodgy so I cleaned them up with contact spray now they are ok.
The only other thing I have noticed (other than geometry) is a rattle or rumble from around the alternator area- poss bad bearings. I will look closer at that later but I have to say it seems like a good vehicle for the money. Tempted to sell my 5 series and get a 3.2 ....

The tyres are just about new. I have told them to take it to get it tracked but I think I will have to do it as the last four cars they have had fell to bits due to not listening to me.. I will fit a new stat next week I think.

Hi. I bought a 2000 omega 2.0 cd today for the in laws. I paid just £600 for it. Full service history, full MOT and 5 months tax...not bad I think. Anyway I know there are a couple of faults.
One is the temp gauge does not move - i have had several Vectras with the X20XEV engine so I assume it is a duff thermostat. Tracking needs doing as it pulls to the left.
There is a button on the side of the drivers seat. What is it for as when pressed nothing happens but a slight click?
Are there any other things I should look out for as i want this to be a fully functional problem free vehicle for them.
Thanks.
