Omega General Help / Re: can a faulty crankshaft sensor affect the auto box

« on: 01 December 2009, 16:37:01 »

Thanks guys, well my vauxhall dealership who now have the car as it died while I popped in to see them and wouldnt start possibly due to the crankshaft sensor have now quoted me £200 plus vat to replace the sensor..ouch.!! I am now in a catch 22 situation as the car is non starter until sensor replaced, they cannot do a tech 2 diagnostic check.
Does £200 sound too expensive to have the sensor replaced?

Thanks very much guys for the advice, The car was plugged into the tech 2 by the vauxhall garage and it didnt show any codes...will the Tech 2 diagnostic have picked up a low ATF?  Also prior to going into my local delaership, a local garage had informed me that the transmission fluid can only be checked or topped up while the car is connected to the tech 2..is this true?
Many thanks for the comments folks.

Omega General Help / can a faulty crankshaft sensor affect the auto box

« on: 30 November 2009, 23:17:22 »

Hi, just purchased a omega 2.6 cdx auto 03 reg. it is driving me nuts. it a 2 main faults, one has diagonesd as the crankshaft sensor, however the 2nd one is the auto gearbox, when the car is cold,th car changes and drives fine, however as soon as the car warms up, the box seems to slip when stationary in driive mode to neutral. When shift from netral to drive, it takes a few seconds for it to engage and creep unless you rev it, then it jolts forward. if you leave it in drive with your foot on the brake, you can feel it engaging and disengaging.However the car drives fine and changes thru the gears once driving.
My Vauxhall main dealer has done a diagnostic check and has found no fault codes with the gearbox. They think the crankshaft sensor fault is probably impacting on the gearbox..can this be true? Also how much should I expect to pay for a replacment crankshaft sensor fitted? Thanks guys
