Omega General Help / Battery advice

« on: 01 December 2009, 14:38:28 »

Tried searching on line for battery and got a number of different types.
Can anyone tell me what Ah I need and what cold cranking amps should be.The dead one in car has a 650A cold crank but have gotten different ones from online that say they fit the Omega.Petrol 3.0 Elite.

Car stuck at me dads so could only remember cold satrt value and not Ah capacity.Thanks

Omega General Help / Re: paperclip fault codes

« on: 21 August 2009, 13:33:59 »

might be a daft question but what the heck,when fault codes are stored are they cleared automatically when the problem is fixed,like the alerts to coolant level,brake lights etc, or could you have a situation where the problem is fixed but the fault code is still stored.

It is this way just incase you have an intermittent fault that doesn't require you to have the codes read at the exact second the fault occours, not everyone keeps a Vx (and I use the term loosely (although not all I might add!)) mechanic folded up in the boot So the ECU keeps them for 20 or so start-ups like a short history folder does on your PC. HTH

Thanks,that does help,although I'm no good with computers either,I guess i could be called a modern day Luddite!!

Are there any symptoms of a dodgy crank sensor other than whats been mentioned......for example, a slight variation in idling revs now and again.

Ok thanks,checked maintainance bit,got hotel 21's pic of crank sensor,now,it looks like it might be fairly simple to replace but no doubt someone will post back saying "whoooaah there young fella me lad....you have to........" and it'll turn out to be complicated.

Is it or am i right thinking it doesn't look too bad.
Any ballpark figures on price?
