i'm a total newb under the bonnet do you know of any howto's that would show me what to look for and where to look for it in pictures?

Or maybe recommend a garage in the bristol area that could do it for me.

Omega General Help / 17 Knock Signal Circuit 2

« on: 30 May 2010, 15:47:25 »

hi Guys, new here. On my Vauxhall Omega 2.5 CDX automatic the ECU light has started to come on and off and I noticed a loss of power. I have done the paper clip test and came up with

17 Knock Signal Circuit 2

So I've been searching and came up with the engine knock means theres some kinda misfiring and the ECU retards the power output of the engine to compensate.

I wanna get this fixed as it can feel like taking off with traction control on when the light is on. It isn't on permanently but regularly enough to be a pain.

I can't seem to get much info on it on-line or from the manual, so if anyone can enlighten me on whats happening and how i should go about fixing it I'd be grateful.

Thanks for the welcome everyone  

Whaboutcha albitz! It seems everyone in and around the Bangor area seems to know each other. Dundonalds a nice wee drive from bangor but "Ards" confused me for a while at first, people were saying goto ard's for this and that, but could I find ards on the bloody map, nope, eventually someone mentioned Newtonards and it clicked! I love the wee twisty hilly roads in norn irn and the "peelers" I've met so far have been "dead on"!

Newbie Welcome Area / Hi All

Hi all, Scotsman living in Northern Ireland here.

Been driving a 1996 Vauxhall Omega for the last 6 months. Been loving the car but the MOT is up now and it won't pass without a bunch of things fixed.

We've now baught a new car but it's 0-60 in about 30 mins. Feels like i'm driving a sardine can. I don't want to part with the Omega. I know sod all about the mechanics of cars so I am going to change that by making my Omega a pet project, gonna fix (hopefully not fux) it up and get it through the MOT on myown if possible so look out for some dumb newbie questions coming your way if I can't get my head around the FAQ's and HowTo's

Riz.
