Omega General Help / Help needed!!!!!
« on: 29 July 2008, 08:09:49 »
Hi there
After spending a stupid amount of money on my omega tourer 2.5 v6 to get it through its mot, it has now decided to play up once again. whenever i slow down, say towards a junction or roundabout and drop down to a higher gear, the engine cuts out and i have to turn the ignition and keep the revs high so i can pull away. motorway driving seems ok but driving through a town is a nightmare. The car will cut out even when it is not moving and ticking over. The lights displayed on the dash when this happens are the ignition,battery and oil (oil and filter have been replaced 4 weeks ago). Can anybody help me and restore my faith in omegas before I buy another car.
Many thanks in advance

Hmmmm....battery may well be to small but, I would also be reading the fault codes to check if there are any other reasons why the car is not starting.Hi there
When it spins over, does it spin over reasonably quickly?
The first couple of times it did, but the the more times I try it just gets much slower until nothing happens and there is so little power in the car that the stereo goes into safe mode.
many thanks

Omega General Help / Stupid question..............
« on: 21 April 2008, 12:12:27 »
Hi there
I have been having problems getting my 2.5 omega tourer (s reg)to start over the past couple of weeks. when I turn the ignition the car will try to start but if it does not start the first couple of times you can hear the starter become more sluggish, and if I continue to try it will not start at all and even the central locking will not work. the car will work with jump leads ( after a while charging) And have been told by a former omega owner that the Battery is too small for the car. The battery does indeed look to small for the bracket and it does not have any information displayed on the battery to indicate how old it is or what type it is. Can somebody tell me if this sounds like a battery problem or could it be more of a major problem?
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Richard

hi there
I have a cd changer i want to put in my omega tourer, but do not have the cable to connect to the cassette/radio. firstly, where can I pick up a replacement cable and also is this a job that is quite straight forward or should i just get it done by a qualified person?
many thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick response mate.
I have tried that. When the car is stationery it is fine, it seems to be when I accelerate whilst moving, the more gas gas applied, the quicker it seems to get. Its not really loud, just concerned it may be something that needs to be addressed before something major happens!

Omega General Help / Tapping sound when accelerating
« on: 14 November 2007, 16:37:01 »
Hi there
Firstly, Wicked site. Good to know there is so many Omega owners out there!
I own a omega tourer estate 2.5 and have noticed that when I start my engine and drive away that there seems to be a slight tapping sound when I apply some gas. It is a very quite sound and does seem to get more quite after a few miles. Can you tell me if the sound is normal?
Thanks in advance
