Ok, topped it up with Dextron 3 and took it for a run, seems a bit better now, still had one "heavy" gear change but it may just need a bit more rof a run to settle it down, other than she drove fine, took it upto ***mph and back down and she was pulling well. Hopefully it was just ATF that caused my problem.
Right onto the next little bit lol

Thanks for the help people, much appreciated

Right,

Daft question where is the gearbox dipstick?

Im lead to beleive I needthe engine running and the car in Neutral while I do this?

Do I need the engine running while topping it up?

Didnt notice the gearshift lights at the time so I cant answer that question im afraid.

It just seemed odd that after a couple of minutes being switched off, I restarted the car and it drove fine?

Omega General Help / Autobox issue

« on: 03 May 2008, 13:49:48 »

Looks like my new toy has revealed its hidden problem

I had been driving all morning in town, stop start traffic and was coming home, acclerated off the roundabout and it pulled fine, I then seemed to get what I can only describe as a heavy gearchange and automatic gearbox came up on the display. the car then drove normally.
I then came to pull out of a junction, no power, almost like a heavily slipping clutch. Got the car the very short distance home and switched off and unloaded the boot.
Got back in, started up and it seemed to drive fine?
Please tell me this isnt going to cost a bomb to sort out and that its something simple like oil service on the gearbox?

lmao, went out and checked it, bloody plug wasnt plugged in, plugged it in expecting to still see the warning but its cleared so it looks like the sensor work fine.

Apart from the gearbox issue this is turning out to be a good car, im seriusly hoping ive cured the box now too.

Thanks, I got the cd code online in the end check my thread in the ICE section.
The check message is "Low Coolant" but there is plenty of collant in the reservoir and she isnt using any so im guessing its a sensor issue.

Just the standard cassette head unit (ccr600) and the Blaupunkt cd changer in the boot.
Trouble is I dont have the vehicle manual pack with the car only the code for the radio on a card but there is definately no sepreate code for the CD on it.

The car is a 1998 2.5 V6 CDX (I will update my profile in a sec)

As for the code I have the Radio one but not the CD unless its the same?

1st, on my display in the bottom right hand corner it says "check" what do I need to do?

Secondly I need to obtain the CD code for my car, I have the radio code but the cd one, can this still be obtained from Vauxhall (98 S reg car) or can I get it anywhere else ie on the net somewhere?

Welcome, welcome.

If it were me, I'd forget about taking the others on Holiday and fire up the hundy  8-)

Only joking

If only you knew how much I wish I could do that but the "hundy" is staying off the road until the engine is done and the suspension completely renewed throughout.

The car I was looking at yesterday has now sold so im back on the search again.
Getting VERY frustrated that I cant seem to find one.

Wow thanks for the warm welcome.
Went to see one tonite.
Nice car 2.5V6 CD spec all went well and the car was very reasonable for the money, drove well but sadly when I got back there was some smoke / steam coming from the drivers side of the bonnet. Due toa broken bonnet release it took a few minutes to get the bonnet open and by that time I couldnt see where it was coming from.The owner said that when the CATS get blocked  (which he has removed due to one getting blocked) it split a couple of pipes on that side of the engine and that he had replaced them and so it was probably burning off some oil?
Howvere I couldnt see where it was coming from so ive decided to givve that one a miss.

Still looking though and the test drive confirmed I definately want an Omega, what a lovely car to drive.

John Argraig pointed me here as im looking for a cheap Omega while I rebuild my 200sx ( I know I know lol)
Im preferably after a V6 either 2.5 or 3.0 not fussed either way but will consider a 2.0 if pushed, if its an estate all the better but my budget is £500 as my dad will be paying for it as im waiting for an insurance payout and a payrise to come through. it MUST have MOT past JULY.
I need a big car as im going on holiday in july and taking the wife, my sister in law, an 11 year old nephew and a 9 month old baby so it goeswithout saying that the car needs to be sound.

Can anyone of this freindly bunch help me out please?

Edit :- Should add im Reading Berkshire but will possibly travel for the right car.
