Omega General Help / Re: 4 or 6 Cylinder ?
« on: 28 September 2010, 12:31:22 »
My 2.2 petrol auto has awful economy round town, 22-23 mpg. But the handling is so nice I can't get rid of it.

Welcome.
I read on here that pressing the fan increase and decrease buttons together for a few seconds reset the system.

Nice one, I thought it sounded cheap.

Hi guys,
I've been getting quotes for a gearbox oil and filter change. One guy says £96 all in, the other reckons its a half hour job, at £30 an hour.
I'm trying to avoid a cowboy, so does 30 mins sound long enough?

Omega General Help / 2.2 16v Rev Drop underload

Hi Guys,
I've just come back from my first batch of motorway driving with my omega, and have noticed a weirdness. Under hard acceleration, in sport mode, there is a slight dip in revs after changing up. Basically the following happens:

I've just come back from my first batch of motorway driving with my omega, and have noticed a weirdness. Under hard acceleration, in sport mode, there is a slight dip in revs after changing up. Basically the following happens:
[olist]
- Stand on the gas with the sport button pressed. The car pulls well
- Car shifts up, hits 3500-4000 rpm.
- The revs drop slightly(200rpm), as if I've backed off the gas for a second or two
- The revs build again, and off we go. [/olist]
I do currently have a blowing manifold, which ticks away however hot the engine gets, that I haven't yet had the courage to fix.
I've never had an auto before so I don't know if the above is normal, or related to the manifold or what. No EML btw.
Any one got an opinion?

Well the sensor is replaced, and the start up seems smoother. What. I did notice was that before I unplugged and reconnected the original maf, on startup the car would make a quiet buzzing noise, which it nolonger does. On my old passat that kind of sound was the ecu learning the throttle butterfly positions, could the same be true of the omega?

Having unplugged the MAF sensor, my lumping start-up issue has disappeared, having left the car overnight it started sweet as anything this morning. Am I correct in thinking that a new sensor is needed?

Scary. I was about to post that link! So I just unplug the wire going into the labelled bit?

Omega General Help / Port Reader and MAF Disconnection
« on: 17 August 2010, 21:43:19 »
Hi,
My 2002 2.2 16v is struggling to start sometimes, and always runs roughly for a minute or two after starting. It also on occasion will go into limp mode, with the ECU light on.
Firstly I want to get a read of the fault, and as it goes out after a few restarts I figured I could read it myself. I'm looking at getting an ebay lcd reader thing (item:320502280608).
Has anyone used one/or recommend against it?
Secondly I want to disconnect the MAF sensor to see it that sorts the issue, which is apparently a 10 minute job. I can't find a guide on how to do this, and I'm hopeless without a picture or two of what I need to do. Can anyone help?
Cheers
