Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

« on: 14 November 2010, 13:51:23 »

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your reply. Yes it is a CCR2006. I have just been back out and had a fiddle with the volume control - on and off push control and it feels as good as new. You have to push it quite forcefully in order for it turn on and off. Very strange.

Hi Debs, I have also checked the battery terminals and they seem fine and to be honest the temperature was quite mild last night.

Many thanks

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Has this happened to anyone else?

« on: 14 November 2010, 13:26:12 »

Good afternoon all

At 4.30am this morning me and missus were woken up by some unsociable begger playing music very loud from their car. After waiting for about 3 or 4 mins, I went outside to see who it was to find that the music was coming from my car - Omega 2001 2.2 petrol estate. The car was locked and the CD player had turned itself on and was blaring out much louder than I had been listening to about 12 hours earlier. Has anybody else had this experience and is it a common electrical fault in Omegas?  I have got another "Check Auto Gearbox" problem and am going to have the codes read soon. Could the two problems be connected. By the way I wasn't dreaming and I didn't have a drop to drink last night!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Ed

Thanks folks, it sounds as though I should get someone to read my gearbox codes. My location is swadlincote, South Derbyshire if anyone can recommend someone.

PS, The gearbox changes smoothly with no solid clunks.

Thanks again

Thanks for your swift reply Richard, but being completely novicy about this sort of thing, what is a paperclip/pedal test and where would be the best place to get this done. Is it a main dealer or specialist job.

Many thanks

Omega General Help / Check Automatic Gearbox - Warning light

« on: 04 November 2010, 19:40:04 »

Good evening all,

I seem to have a regular fault, at least once a day with no regular pattern and it goes a bit like this:

I put key in the ignition and start the car as usual. If the car takes a little longer to turn over and fire up, I can guarantee that the warning light shaped like a car with a spanner running through it will not go out with the rest of the ignition lights. The digital display will then read "Automatic Gearbox Check". If I try to drive the car in this mode then it feels like it wants to stall. Before driving off I simply turn of the engine and re-start the car and it is always ok.

Does anyone know what could be causing this fault. It can happen at anytime no matter what the weather conditions etc and it only ever happens on start up.

Many thanks
