Omega General Help / Re: Automatic gearbox problems

Hey all

Still not got motor back. Apprently its the crank sensor thats the problem. Ive been told its been replaced and the garage are running the car to make sure everythings ok.

If the crank sensor has been replaced that should be the end of that problem right? I was told that after it was replaced the car was taken on a test run and the same problem occured even though the sensor had been replaced and the car had been plugged into a computer and the fault recognised. I was told that the problems been logged with the ECU and thats why it happened again. It should clear itself.

My patience is starting to be tested now. ive had the car since last saturday and only used it a couple of times. Her indoors is complaining that she cant go shopping and ive two children that cant be run about  :-/

Thanks all for the advice. As I said I brought the car without a warranty but the chap did say he would sort it out so fingers crossed for tomorrow. Not sure if the garage is able to read codes etc but as far as im concerned thats their problem and they need to fix it. Will let you know what happens.

Been out for some fuel this morning and thought id give it some beans down the duel carrageway on the way home. The car and gearbox was ok, picked up well with no messages on screen regarding "automatic gearbox" check. Still taking it back to the garage in the morning though.

Omega General Help / Automatic gearbox problems

« on: 11 July 2009, 22:08:08 »

Ive just purchased today a 98 Omega 2.5 V6 CD and have problems already. Pulling away from some lights the revs flared up and the engine seems to go into limp mode and the words "automatic gearbox" are on the screen followed by the check box sign illuminated. After leaving the car for a hour or so the problem seemed to right itself, only for the same to happen again later. The box changes really jerky with this problem.

Any help would be much appreciated
