Hi & thanks, so are the tensioners spring loaded and perhaps sieze up or something without tensioning the belt ?

Hi, Is the 2.5 Quad cam engine "Safe" if the cam belt fails ?? Perhaps there a list somewhere of "safe" engines.
Thanks Mike.

Hi, upon opening the unit to reveal the PCB it was found that there were wires as thin as 0.03mm / 0.001" wich were too easily broken whilst removing the "Sticky Gel" covering the board. Sadly the repair had to be abandoned.
Even with the skills and specialist equipment my company has at repairing "Normal" PCBs a repair on this was not going to be reliable.
General feeling was that if a setting (hard) resin had been used then the wires would not have been subjected to movement and eventual failure due to vibrations over time.
Searching the web I think this company seam to be good .......http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/DetailedProduct.aspx?DetailedProduct=782.

Thank you all for your input . All the way home today the ABS/TC lights were on and no speedo. I had an idea to see the lights as I fiddled, wedging a shaving morror inbetween the drivers headrest and seat I was able to see the lights while fiddling with the wires. I mannaged to remove the cable tie and plastic cover from the wiring plug exposing the wires, moving the wires didn't make any difference but when I put a finger between the plug body and the unit itself I found that with a little pressure there was a click from the unit and the lights went off. I tried this moving from one end of the plug to the other but it was only whilst applying pressure to the centre part that made it work. I am going to remove the unit tomorow night and hopefully get it sorted. Watch this space lol.

Yeh thanks steve ! we sure do seem to be in the same boat. The company I work for has an electronics department repairing pcb's etc but as you say its knowing the layout and understanding how it works. perhaps it is worth having a go but it would be good to have some knowledge of the position of the fault and how to get to it. If I find a way I too will make notes pics etc for future help. All the best & good luck mate !

Hi, can the wheel sensors be tested ? I can drive for 40+miles with everything ok and yet another time its lights on and no speedo from the start but it might come ok when driving. I have removed the rear sensors cleaned them and refitted but still no joy.Has anyone got info on repairing the PCB if that was the problem.

Hi can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove the ABS PCB without removing the whole unit, I have a fault and traced it to the multi plug and by moving it slightly from side to side the ABS lights come on and off.
I am fairly sure the fault is on the PCB, if removed I feel thaty a repair would be quite easy.
Regards Mike

« on: 16 February 2010, 21:49:34 »
Hi & thank you ! The front rubber coupling was changed but I will try and take the strain off the prop when parked that seams to make sense to me, perhaps shifting into neutral, aplying the handbrake and then shifting into park ?? worth trying anyway .
Would any of you know why my gear lever rattles ? it happens at higher speeds than the vibration from the prop so assume its something else, Any ideas ??
Thanks Mike.

Omega General Help / Prop Shaft Vibration
« on: 11 February 2010, 21:26:08 »
Hi, I have had my 2.5 auto CDX 2000 reg now for 5 years, I had problems with vibration and had the prop balanced in the first year the vibration was better but not completely cured, it is felt between 30 & 40 MPH.
I have put up with it because I need to keep the car on the road as much as poss & having the prop sent off is a long winded job & it is at its worst when the weather is cold.
I think that the prop is still a little out of balance & perhaps the rubber drive couplings get hard and make the problem worse when cold.
Have any of you had this problem and could sugest a cure please?
Mike.
