Thanks Andy, you could well be right. Just had another look at the Car Pass to double check and I think I've been putting in the Security code instead of the Radio code. in view of the "waiting time" I'll leave it tonight and try after my journey to work in the morning.
Cheers.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Another radio code question!

« on: 15 February 2010, 20:44:09 »

Hi,
My car is fitted with a standard CR 2005 radio/cd. It's had to have a new battery today and as expected the radio's gone into safe mode. I've followed the instructions to the letter with the "car pass" in front of me so I know I've entered the code correctly. Each time I press AS having put the code in it goes to Safe again with one attempt fewer remaining. I've had no problems with the radio and have successfully used the code before. Any thoughts please?

Thanks for the comments. Problem appears to be solved. I took the car back to the air con technician who diagnosed that he'd overfilled the system. It's been done again and the problem seems to be sorted. I'm not sure about hte relationship between this and the high speed fan cutting in!?

Air con is working fine now and as far as I'm aware so are the fans associated with it. It's the fan that normally cuts in when the engine gets hot (quite noisily and obviously) that seems to be running all the time all of a sudden. It's a bit of a coincidence that this has only happened since the air con was done so I was wondering if there might be something really obvious that the technician has disturbed and can be easily rectified.
Thanks for your time.

Just an update to this: left the car overnight and drove 17 miles to work this morning and fan did not come on. Six hours later & 200 yards up the drive it came on again for a while. Went off on main road but arriving at home came on again almost as soon as I was stationary. Been off and on like a yo yo ever since while driving locally. I know the weather is a bit warmer than usual but temperature guage is not reading much more than normal most of the time.
Any ideas please? I'm not good with cars!
Thanks

Thanks for that. Am I looking at a repair or a replacement part? Is this something that might have been disturbed by the technician doing the air con job?
Thanks

Omega General Help / Main cooling fan

« on: 23 June 2010, 17:40:41 »

Hi,
I've had the air con on my 2002 Omega re-gassed today and the system checked for leaks etc. This was the only work carried out. However, when I now start the engine the main cooling fan kicks in straight away and runs constantly while driving. It is relatively rare for it to come on at all in general use other than when I'm stuck in traffic on a hot day. It wasn't doing this up to this morning when I dropped the car off. It's obviously making the engine noisy and I'm concerned that it's not really designed to be running like this all the time.
Any thoughts on why this should be connected in any way to the air con work that's been carried out and what the problem might be?
Thanks
