Omega General Help / Brake light check not responding.

« on: 15 July 2007, 16:22:43 »

Over the last few days the 'Brakelight Check' on starting my 99 2.5 CD auto has been very reluctant to respond to pressing the footbrake peddle which in turn will not release the auto box shift handle. It's taken any thing from a few seconds to several minutes before it responds. I have checked the bulbs and connectors for the brakelights and everything seems to be in order. has anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks

Update: I was in my local Vx for oil and filter today and explained what was happening. They attached the Tech 2 and it is indeed the crank sensor..

Just to clarify, mine just turns over but no hint of firing at all which is what leads me to think it's crank sensor as I'm sure I've read somewhere that this can be the sign of the crank sensor failing. I'll have to read the codes.

Got a similar problem with mine and I suspect the crank sensor too. It happens every week to 10 days. Sometimes after a run and sometimes after it sat overnight. So far it starts after a few minutes but I'm going to have to sort it before it leaves me stranded.

Hi

I seem to remember that the cruise control needs to be enabled with the tech 2 gadget by Vauxhall. I don't know all the details but someone with the knowledge will be along soon with the answer. Sorry I can't help more

Had my nearside track rod replaced yesterday to get it through the MOT. It had been pulling slightly to the left so I knew it needed doing. If I'd had time I would have had a go myself.

I changed my pollen filter today and the drain was full of leaves. I cleared it out only last April and I've rerad and heard so often that it blocks easily and traps water.
Thats nearly a year ago

Every time I open bonnet, a have a peek to see how it clear it is - particularly in autumn and spring it can block quickly...

Guess who snapped one of theose plastic clips that keeps the pollen filter in?

.. Mind you it was a tad brittle. Got a clothes peg doing the job for now. Changed the oil and filter today as well just to keep it sweet..

It's an awkward job and the how to by markjay is excellent. Wish I had it before i did mine. My brother took his scuttle off and it makes it much easier. The passenger side bank is the worst and number 6 is a real pain but it's not as bad as you may think. Good luck..
