Omega General Help / Re: Auto transmission

« on: 02 May 2010, 11:32:09 »

hi mbraz i had a very simalar problem with my auto 2.5 td,
i also done a diagnostic check and had no codes back either,

then i droped all the oil and replaced with new plus a new fillter

it seemed like i still had the problem but then took it for a long spin and ever since it has been right (touch wood)

also dampness getting in to the 3 main loom connections also throws up auto transmition faults,
check these are secure and clean,

hope this of some use to you

the first thing to check is the auto oil levels i was told by a few guys in here,

i have one myself which im having trouble with, i own a 97 model with the weak ar25 autobox,

but i think on laer models thay used the stronger ar35 auto box,,

so just give it a service and see how it goes i think there is a thread in the maintanance section

Omega General Help / why? why? needed oof help?

« on: 07 March 2010, 09:02:22 »

hi guys i did post a lil something on here yesterday but didnt seem to get an answer i needed

why would a td 2.5 revs build up to 1500rpm when holding the breaks

plus it throws up auto warning and i loose tidy drive??

what on earth can it be the servo is connected to the end of the cam to make a vacume, not the inlet,,

so must be eletrical right?

well im baffled but i will keep trying
thanx all at OOF,,,,,G,,,,,,,

ill try again sethsmate,

but would this cause the engine to rev to 1500 on pressing the breaks, plus knock up the auto transmition warning on my display unit?

if my thrust washer has gone what are the symptoms of this?

i toped it up engine running in P left the sump plug out lowerd the car down of the trolly jack to allow excess oil come out, put back in sump plug,

selected R to reverse out of my drive,

pressed the break to select D and the problem starts as soon as i press the breaks,,

i guess it must be some kind of eletrical fault but totaly unsure realy, a bit of a stab in the dark realy

yeah the servo pipe runs off the cam i think,,

Omega General Help / AAARH!!! Still auto issues with my tractor!!!!!!

« on: 06 March 2010, 16:50:12 »

hi all at oof, i was having some autobox trouble i droped the main sump, put on a new ATF fillter and and new ATF,

went to take her for a spin around the block,
but as i put my foot on the breaks to select gear the revs would climb to about 1500 and auto transmition came up on display, now the car wont rev up off the throttle, wont pull in gears, we can get moving but the car wont give me any grunt,,

turn the car off and start it again i put i straight into 1 gunned it and it pulled like a train i selected 2 it changed good but then i had to break and the problem starts all over again

i love my omega but she is starting to test me now lol

any help would be very helpful as i havent got the foggiest
i checked the servo vacume for leaks as i thought this could be a clue but i wouldn't of thought it would throw up an auto warning

thanx a mill all at oof
