Omega General Help / Re: Newbie Needing Help - Cold Starting.

« on: 18 January 2010, 06:39:25 »

Hey bud
my 2.2cd had a similar problem- was bad to start when cold and when it did start,it was rough idling for a few minutes.took to my local vx garage who are great and after a few scratches of the head and about two weeks later they found it was the MAF Unit which they changed and also cleaned the Throttle Body.
Worked a treat on my Miggy!!

hi guys
have recently changed front discs and pads thinking it was them being distorted --noise still there-- when doing discs checked both bearings --seemed ok,not sure what signs are for guffed bearings but seem to be turning fine,
calliper not loose have checked that.
when driving the noise is more definate when cornering left-- also when applying brake from 40 down to 30.
have not checked wheels though theese were the next step---lol

Omega General Help / 2.2 CD not starting

« on: 21 January 2009, 17:29:36 »

hi all can anyone help
my 2.2 Miggy not starting,
when trying to start the car the engine turns but does not start up,

on the dash when the ignition is turned on, are two lights staying on the Eml and the car with the spanner in.
 they are not flashing ,they just stay on ,there was no problem this morning as used for a taxi again for kid's

when came back, was in the process of maybe cleaning the camsensor
as previously the light on the dash with a spanner through sometimes came on ,and someone reccomended cleaning it.
but when i took the cover slightly off and seen in ,i thought no chance

But since then car has not started

the vaux dealer advised the crank sensor ,more than the cam sensor
my miggy has only just started playing up
with the engine management light comming on whilst driving
but no affect to the cars performance only once has it gone into
slave mode when i started it
