Omega General Help / Re: How long do V6 crank sensors last?

« on: 23 May 2010, 16:56:16 »

hi mate i dont think the crank sensor causes misfire mine didnt it just eventually stops the car from starting if its quite a bad misfire check the dis pack they last quite a long time but if they get wet they pack up and cause a misfire

the crank sensors on omegas are annoying the symptons are normally stalling, runs for a few miles then stops, or just wont let the engine start, they cost about £35-£40 and take about 15-20 minutes to fit coz its a fiddly job

hi rafgas i had a crankshaft sensor go and the car either stalls, starts and stops after a short while or the car just wont start, but the eml light wont come on for that, so you might have to change the sensor but i think your car has other issues.

thanks guys but i found the problems,ok it is loseing water coz of a split pipe, the steam from the exhuast is condensation and the cats are knackered and the misfireing is because the leaking water has caused the dis pack to fail so if you suffer simular symptons check these problems first before a garage trys to tell you head gasket failer

i have a code reader and showing no codes however the problems i have are now worse the exhuast has white smoke when warm the car is now misfireing again when warm and im losing water it still does not over heat but i think its the head gasket, do these sound like head gasket problems to you guys?

hi i am new to the forum and have a problem with my omega and hope some of you guys can help,ok my omega runs fine until its warm and then starts to produce white smoke and judder, it has been juddering for about 2 weeks now but the smoke only started after i repaired my exhaust which had a hole in it. it recently had a new hbv put on as it was leaking water, it does not overheat and ive had the headgasket tests done and its not that, its a 99 3.0 omega elite, any help or ideas will be much appreciated
