Omega General Help / random beeping from behind dash

« on: 15 October 2010, 19:07:07 »

Hi people

My folks hae just phoned me and asked about a random beeping noise from behind the dash on their "S" reg omega 2.0 auto. i heard it on phone and it sounds like the noise from reversing sensors when you are close to something. no warning lights come on either. really strange. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Paul

Hi everyone

Thanks for all your responses on my other problems. It has been mentioned that I should clean the mass air flow sensor on my 3.0 1994 omega. Firstly what cleaning product should I use? Secondly am still waiting for my haines manual so does anyone have a pic of engine bay to show me where i will find the maf.

Any help much appreciated

Omega General Help / Re: Omega 3.0 auto problem over 2000rpm

Thanks for all your replies.

The car had new cats around 2 years ago and has had a new powerflow exhaust less than 1 year ago. Now I probably sound dumb but what is the paperclip test? I have ordered a haines manual so hopefully when that arrives I might be able to know what some stuff is from pics in there. Now I do sound dumb as haha. Have just discovered that when engine is hot and fan is on that the car stalls if stationary. It dont rain it pours.
Again thanks for your responses.

Hi

The car had a full service with oil flush approx 2 months ago. Only done about 1000 miles since the service. I am not 100% sure but I dont think the fuel filter was replaced.

Thanks for quick response

Omega General Help / Omega 3.0 auto problem over 2000rpm

« on: 21 August 2010, 14:25:35 »

Hi fellow omega owners.

I have a 1994 3.0 elite omega that has developed a problem. In the last few days if I went over 3000rpm the engine spluttered as if you were rapidly blocking then unblocking fuel. Since yesterday this now happens at 2000rpm so I am stuck at being the slowest accelerating person ever. If I keep the engine below 2000rpm it runs fine. I have no mechanical experience so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega 3.0 auto box issue

« on: 21 August 2010, 15:02:01 »

Hi and thanks for quick responses.

When I took car to garage to get it topped up via the bung on the side of the gearbox it appears the garage couldnt find one. They even showed me under the car when it was up on the ramp and I didnt spot any bung either. Maybe ny eyesight is getting bad haha. Am very baffled  :-/

Omega General Help / Omega 3.0 auto box issue

« on: 21 August 2010, 14:31:24 »

Hi people.

I had a quick look but didnt spot this issue so sorry if this problem has already been answered.

I have a 1994 Omega 3.0 with the "sealed for life" auto box. The problem I have is that occasionally when turning right on a roundabout it seems to lose gear as if you are dipping a clutch. I was wondering if the transmission fluid needed topping up but then discovered its the sealed unit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as anything I can do.

Cheers
