Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Programming key '96
« on: 31 May 2010, 20:39:31 »
hi folks,
i picked up my new 96 2.5td estate, i only got one key which is a lil worn and isn't locking the doors. central locking does work. i've got a few questions.
1. can i get a key with transponder cut and program it my self?
2. can i get the pass codes from any where other than vx if needed.
3. i've got the remote fob working by re-assoiciating it with the car, can i get one from ebay and turn on the ign and lock the doors as i have just done or do i again need something else.
hope to get some help

swapped the rad out not as bad a job as i fear'd and wow i have a nice cool running omega, didn't get above 95 and only that high briefly. the rad i got was a auto so had some extra bits which made it tight in place's but all in all JOB DONE.

ok i have i (think) worked it out.
i'm right it's nothing to do with the clutch at all as i said.
how ever and this is a lil guess work till i can strip it and see but. i think it is a weak chain tensioner when giving it some it put extra strain on it and moved it and advanced the timing making it seem as if it was kicking it down.
what made me think of this i hear you all asking. well on my way to work doing 70 i heard what sounded like a chain slapping about and the engine cut and wouldn't restart.
aa came out to recover me he had a lil look and said it is def something to do with the chain. till i strip it i don't know if it is as i think and the tensioner or if it's the chain or if it's seized or if it's a pig in there but it kinda makes sense what i said.
will start another thread if i can't find the info, on if the engine is non interfearance or not.
