Omega General Help / Possible Head Gasket Failure?

« on: 11 September 2007, 14:56:10 »

I do about 100 miles a day in my 2.0L W reg, and have been losing 2-3 litres of coolant a day. There does not appear to be a leak anywhere, other than a slight discharge from the exapnsion tank cap. The expansion tank seems to have a build up of pressure. I was thinking this must be a HG failure, but I do not have the clouds of white smoke that others have mentioned.

Any others possible causes?

Thanks.

Omega General Help / Fault Codes

« on: 30 July 2007, 10:05:06 »

I managed to do the paper clip test on my 2000 Facelift 2.0 and got the codes read as follows.

0335 Crank sensor
0340 Camshaft sensor
0351 Ignition coil 1 and 4
0352 Ignition coil 2 and 3

As the engine was not started, I expected the 335, and I thought the problem I was having was due to the 340. But can anyone explain why the 351 and 352 would be there?

Many thanks.

Am I right in saying that you cannot read the fault codes on a 2000 Facelift Omega without a Tech II

Omega General Help / Noisy Auto Gearbox

« on: 10 April 2007, 14:24:56 »

Hello, can anyone help.

My auto gearbox seems excessively noisy when stationary. It's OK in park and neutral, but when put into drive it makes a kind of rumbling sound.

May be obvious, but do i need to top up the gearbox oil, and how do i do that?

Many thanks.

Thanks.

That sounds serious and expensive?

Omega General Help / Tappinf noise

« on: 10 April 2007, 14:28:43 »

Hello, can anyone help.

When I start the car, with the engine hot or cold, I have a loud tapping or ticking noise coming from the engine. It is either from the top of the engine, or the round black thing (poss EGR?) just to the right. The oil level looks OK.

Any offers.

Many thanks.

Omega General Help / Re: Idle Air Control needs cleaning every 2-3 mont

Nope. I have one in the garage, just never got round to fitting it.

Is that likely to make a difference.

Omega General Help / Idle Air Control needs cleaning every 2-3 months

« on: 16 February 2007, 16:34:18 »

Anyone got any advice on why my IAC is playing up every 2-3 months. Every time I clean it thoroughly, even the little hole that some people miss. I've been to the scrappy and got another IAC but still have the same problem.

Once cleaned, revs are fine, but give it a couple of months and they are up and down like a yo-yo.

Any help greatly appretiated.

Omega General Help / Scuttle drain plug?

« on: 27 November 2006, 11:55:26 »

2000 W Reg Facelift 2.0L GLS

Hello.

Following the adverse weather conditions of this weekend, I have a case of the common problem of 2 inches of water in the footwells. Sure enough the scuttle drain was full of water. I could not see a hole for the water to drain through, only a rubber bung right at the very button. I have pushed this out and the water drained away.

My question is, have I got the right hole, and should it have had a rubber bung in there in the first place, surely this defeats the object of a drainage hole. There was one other point in the side of the scuttle, but that had a great lump of wire going through it.

Hope you can help.
