Which one, a 19 or a 31?Sorry to gate crash this thead but i had code 19 and the opinion of the forum and my opinion also was that it was the crank sensor.
after changing the sensor i still have code 19,the starting problem was fixed by freeing the ICV off so it let some air in on start up but any idear about the code???

Thanks for that,you have confirmed that a unit that fits my needs does exist.
The CAR 500 seems to be the best bet then as i only need to have the one slot and not a changer in the boot as it wont get used(i only listen to one cd,arnt i sad)
Now to find one.............anyone

I dont believe i am asking this as i am a qualified Autoelectrician but my excuse is i have only ever worked on trucks and buses for 25 years so no nothing about car audio so here go's
I have a CAR 400 head unit in my car which talks to the display and works the steering wheel buttons,great,but i would like to listen to a cd now and again but i dont really want fancy amps or speakers but i would like to stick with original omega parts as opposed to the usual JVC fake disco stuck in the dash.which unit would give me the display and still work the steering wheel buttons and have a cd slot.
Sorry for being a bit long winded

To be honest its probably worth putting in the good stuff once in a while for the cleaning additives, gets some of the built up crap out of the engine...but I use the cheap stuff because I cant really afford to pay out any more
Yes chris thats why i use the cheap stuff.The Toyota was not a uk car and was made to run on better stuff than what we have here but i suspect the V6 being a UK car is the opposite.

You have a valid point about the value of the car,they may be most peoples pride and joy but you have to be reallistic.
having said that,i am all for getting the best from my car so has anyone any thoughts?

What are people using,i dont mean which brand but is it 95RON or 97RON.
I rightly or wrongly check how much cash i have first and to be honest always end up with 95RON.
The last car i had was an imported Toyota twin turbo soarer which ran sick on anything less then 97RON but whats best for the 2.5V6?
Would i be wasting money on the full fat stuff or am i losing out using the semiskimed?
I have never really understood the difference :-/

Omega General Help / Air Con
« on: 13 November 2008, 07:06:09 »
Anyone know if there ever was a 2.5 V6 WITHOUT Aircon
Reason i ask is my aircon pump is shot and i have no intention of fixing it but as it makes hell of a racket even when not engaged i thought about fitting a shorter belt to bypass it rather than removing it.
Is this feasable?

A bit of a development.
Starting from cold is now a bit of a pig,once warm its ok.
Still getting code 19 even with engine running
Also when its starts from cold for a few seconds there is popping through the exhaust on overrun but clears after 30 or so seconds
