Omega General Help / Update

« on: 13 April 2008, 00:55:44 »

Thought I would update on the work done to the car.

The paperclip test was correct, when connected to the Tech2 gizmo it came out with the same fault(Code 16).  Had the sensor changed and the Cam plus bits done at the same time.  

Now for the good bit, the car goes like stink.  Pulls hard in every gear including 1st and 2nd, even the mechanic commented on how sweet it was :-)  I've been irritating the traction control all day lol  Thanks for all your help!

Where abouts is the knock sensor, i read it is at the back of the engine?  Do I need to remove anything to access it?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the replies  

I agree it is a heavy car, I just upgraded from an auto 850 T5 which was a lump.

There is something def wrong, it is a dog under 4k but once it is there it goes like stink, I would say as good as the T5 if not better as it seems to have loads more torque.

Omega General Help / MV6 Advice on performance

« on: 28 March 2008, 16:53:39 »

Hi,

I have just bought a ex police 3 litre MV6 manual.  I just have a couple of questions if anyone can help.

Firstly the engine management light is flickering.  It flickers more when idle and is more constant under speed.  I also find the V6 a little slow off the mark, it seems to almost be holding back but not quite as bad as that.   The only odd thing is that in 3rd and 4th it pulls like a train, good enough in fact to stay ahead of my brother S60 T5 which I think on paper is 40bhp more than a Mv6.  

I am just off to do the paperclip test but any feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks,

David

I have owned 2x Sennys and my first Omega.  

I would say the hanndling goes to the Omega although it is a ex plod car so may be better set up.  The brakes are also much firmer when pushed.  If it was grin factor it goes to the Senny.  It seemed to fly when it hit 4k and just kept on going.  The Omega is probably as quick as make no difference just more smooth in delivery.

Hey,

Met a chap who came to look at the same car as me today who told me about this forum, thank you!

I am the proud owner of a Greater Mancester Police 2000 MV6 manual.  Bodywork is not the best and my engine management light likes flickering but for £725 who can moan lol Oh, and it shifts!
