Omega General Help / Re: Omega MV6 - Need help identifying pipe in engine
« on: 04 June 2011, 10:45:37 »
on my old elite one of my cats had blocked which caused back pressure that melted the rubber pipe. i changed the rubber pipe for a new one which lasted 2 mins. only way i found out it was cat was to disconnect middle boxes from where they connnect to cat you could feel a big difference in the air flow coming out which tells u which one had gone might not be same but thats what i did.

Omega General Help / autogearbox fault
« on: 29 March 2011, 22:40:41 »
hi i have just done my heater matrix whilst putting gearselector cover back on i trapped a couple of wires under selector fork 
. car was ok for couple of hours then today gearbox check came up on mid. it is driving in safe mode and the little lights next to p r n d doesnt light up. the brown wire was very crimped but not cut. could this have broken inside and caused these faults. thanks rick.

Omega General Help / ticking?
« on: 27 March 2011, 15:18:43 »
hi this is probably a silly question but if the little copper looking pipe that comes off drivers side exhaust maniford was loose at the base would this cause the engine to sound like a hydraulic tick. sorry for silly question but am stumped in finding this ticking noise.
