Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wharfedale WH180 aftermarket car audio
« on: 04 May 2009, 22:33:27 »
The aftermarket car audio didn't work in my miggy when I bought it. Have bought a cheap one from North Weald market - only £10. but no manual. Everything works good except can't pair my Nokia mobile with the audio unit via bluetooth. Keeps say 'pairing failed'.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Have searched the net - no good. Thought there would be help here. So many experts.

Dunno if this helps. But for my rear fogs to be on, have to have front fogs on also.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / TOW BAR ELECTRICS
« on: 18 March 2009, 21:21:12 »
Bought my 1999 Tourer Miggy 31.1.09 It's got original Vauxhall Tow bar, but the original Vauxhall electric sockets were smashed and u/s.
Bought after market replacement sockets but wire colour codes don't seem to match.
Wires on car are two colours, socket suggests that they should be only one. Any ideas, or have I got to do bulb test to see what is what.
I know you guys are experts.

Thanks Cem and The Boy.
Tried at different rpm 'cos telling me no signal.
Been researching and also came up with crank case sensor. Will try this. Here's hoping

Thanks Gents.
Have taken MAF off. Cleaned it an WD40'd the connectors. Put it all back together. Did paper clip test at 600rpm and at 3500 rpm Still getting code 73 MAF sensor voltage low and 19 rpm (incorrect rpm signal) at both 600rpm & 3500 rpm ?
Have replaced o/s cat converter and rear back box only. am I cutting corners here. Do I need complete new exhaust. Car is now ?issing me off. Thinks the prob is simple, like me but the wife still don't understand me. Might have to bite the bullet, admit defeat and let garage look at it

Omega General Help / MAF
« on: 15 June 2009, 18:43:15 »
So evening.
Done lots today.
Had misfire (chugging & sluggish) under load, but cruise nice at 70.
Checked plugs, leads.
Cleaned EGR. Found front trumpets insecure and not seated properly and jubilee clips loose.
Had it ticking over, sounds OK, but when blip throttle and drive under load, still chugging.
Now got fault code 73 after paper clip test. How do I fix this fault MAF Sensor voltage low. Thanks guys.

« on: 25 June 2009, 20:27:30 »
Done as suggested on other part of forum. Sprayed carb cleaner lightly in engine bay whilst engine running to see if got any air or vacumm leaks. Nope none.
Did paper clip test again, Heyho, fault code 19 gone, but now got codes 57,59,71 & 73. Me thinks me spraying near IACV, back of inlet manifold and front trumpets might have set these off - hope so!!!! Using car on 200 mile run this weekend. Hope these will clear themselves.
Still got as if its missing a beat (misfire) but loads of power. Could be only 5 pots firing tho. Fingers crossed this weekend, might clear itself.
Thanks all for advice. Thanks for the forum.

Will be lifting the inlet manifold probably tomorrow, to chech that out, also to make sure things are where they are meant to be, also to get a good look at Dispack.

Hi Lazydocker.
didn't get it from Vx. Old one took off had GM on it and Siemans as the manufacturer. New one didn't have GM but did have Siemans. So guess it's OK.

Omega General Help / Fault code 19 still running lumpy?
« on: 23 June 2009, 22:02:58 »
Thanks for all the advice.
Few days ago, posted that running lumpy, sounds as if misfiring.
Fault codes were 19 & 73.
Have replaced crank sensor (new one) Cleaned MAF.
Still bit lumpy, seems to lack full power under load. Like phutting (misfiring)
Code 73 gone, but still got 19. despite new crank sensor.
Over past 2 to 3 months have done:-
new plugs, new leads, new fuel filter, new air filter, cam covers, cam belt. together with brakes.
MOT about 4 weeks ago (350 miles) passed so emmisions OK.
Plug wells look clean - no oil in wells.
Also had new o/s cat converter and rear exhaust box 'cos back box spilled the bafflers. Could've the knackered back box caused the now problem?
99.9% certain that did cam belt correctly, but if bit out, could this be causing my problem?
Or could it be the infamous Dispack
Any help/advice appreciated before I admit defeat
