Omega General Help / Re: Climate control

« on: 16 June 2009, 14:55:12 »

Strange you should mention the outside temp sensor as that went at the same time! He replaced the sensor and that is now working. He also did a 'code read' and that didn't show anything untoward apparently.
Do you think the climate control and the external sensor are linked? If so, preumably replacing the sensor should have got the climate working?
The car goes in again on Thursday so hopefully, I might be able to make some suggestions.
Thanks for the ideas. Any more would be most welcome as I'm hoping to keep the labour bill down!!

Omega General Help / Climate control

« on: 14 June 2009, 11:17:37 »

Hi,
The climate control on my 2.2 CD has recently failed - no heat when set to 'auto' and temparature selected. I get heat if i set to 'HI' and aircon is still working. The guy at my local workshop has been investigating but ran out of time last week. He has apparently 'checked the vacuum pipes' which appear OK but I get the impression he is stumped.
Any ideas please?
Ken

Omega General Help / Re: Mass air flow sensor

Hello again,
Having heeded your warnings, I removed the sensor and checked all joints for air leaks. Everything seemed OK but as a further precaution I gave the sensor a clean with a spray of Wynn's injection cleaner, put it back together carefully and tightened circlips. The warning light didn't come on for two days and I thought I'd cracked it! - but then it came on and has been intermittent since. Back to square one. I had another look at the computer printout from the garage and the notes suggested 'air leaks' even though they told me I needed a new sensor.
The fact that the car is running fine makes me loath to replace the sensor so am inclined to put up with the light coming on intermittently until I can't stand it any longer or the performance is affected. Well, that is the update as promised. Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions and help.

Excellent advice. I will certainly make the checks you suggest before proceeding. Many thanks. KenJ

Thanks very much everyone. A great and prompt response.  I did forget to mention that it's a 2003 2.2. There are no actual symptons as far as the running is concerned - only the light coming on intermittently>The garage's computer indicated airflow sensor and they said that it was a common problem on Omegas - then quoted the price! Although I am loath to pay out £145+VAT, I thought that £43 plus a little DIY might be worth it. Thanks again. Ken J

Omega General Help / Mass air flow sensor

Have trawled through the forum but can't find answer to this one - maybe i've missed it!
The 'spanner' light started showing and I had a computer diagnosis - told it was air flow sensor - £145+VAT! Have found a new sensor on ebay for £43 but wondered whether fitting is a DIY job? It appears to be 2 circlips plus a plug for the elctronics. Any advice please? KenJ
