« on: 28 January 2013, 09:59:31 »Not uncommon for loose / poor connections at the back.
Remove cluster and refit it (easy job!), and may well cure the problem.
How do you remove the speedo cluster
thanks

Omega General Help / Re: should i fix or break
« on: 16 January 2013, 22:06:30 »I have just finished changing the head gasket on my 2.2, it had gone on cylinder 3 between the cylinder and the coolant channel so pressurising the expansion tank.
Strip down was straight forward following the guide on here, took no more than 6hrs and I had LPG to contend with.
Got the HG set from Trechii on eBay, very good and recommended on here.
Got head skimmed, pressure tested and stem seals changed for £100 at a local specialists.
Cleaned throttle body, breather pipes, blanked EGR, , changed leaking exhaust manifold gasket, cleaned out cam followers as well.
Rebuilt engine with few issues. Had a couple of problems once finished - misfire on cylinder 3 (injector connector into LPG system had come loose. Also (just solved) the throttle body some how decided to fail.
All finished now, I would say 3 days work plus a couple of days for the head skim and cost me less than £200 including all the extra things I changed/did.
In summary if the car is otherwise good get it done, if you don't fancy it and want rid PM me you never know!
Hi loosing water coolant , loads more steam than usual but there seams to be no more pressure than usual in the expansion tank. and misfires on cold and hot starting for about 5 seconds then runs fine.

Omega General Help / Re: Air bag on the steering wheel squib
« on: 05 January 2013, 09:45:30 »Thats the "Contacter"Dont neeed one of those.It justs makes it a bit easier.OP refers to "squib"
If you need the whole airbag unit ? I would imagine they are very expensive.On the other habd,a second hand one might not be 100% relibale if you need it. I have a second hand one if thats a route your considering.
Squib is the pyro part.
OP - what was the code, and was it "PRESENT"?
My mate used his tec 2 so dont know code but said it may be the contact in the so called squib so having a look later

« on: 04 January 2013, 17:50:51 »
CO % 0.36 thay sead it should be 0.20 or below
And i think the service history says manifold and silencer change so i think its the same cat
And no head gasket faiures

Omega General Help / Re: Emissions on my 2.2 regarding cat
« on: 03 January 2013, 19:55:32 »Might be the O2 sensors, my 2.2 failed on emmissions just before I sold it (tested on petrol). The ecu was complaining about the O2 sensors. Any chance on getting the codes read?
All clear on tec 2

Omega General Help / Re: Emissions on my 2.2 regarding cat
« on: 03 January 2013, 19:54:34 »Can you post up what the emission results were?
Also, is it the original cat?
Further still, any recent head gasket failures?
And yes, it is a twin cat, there is a pre cat and a main cat (although the pre cat does very little in the way of anything useful)
