Omega General Help / Re: Car bad running and lots of smoke

« on: 15 January 2011, 17:20:29 »

The garage have said that I should try a diesel expert.  I had to drive the car home, had to wait for it to warm up-YES THE TEMP. GAUGE HAS DECIDED TO WORK.  SMOKED LESS BUT ONLY MANAGED 15MPH.Engine management light on.
the garage were not happy with fitting a new pump, as if It didn't work they would be gutted. I would be £2000 down.
Thanks to everyone for the advice!!
Whats next??

best wishes Richard NEWPORT  GWENT.

The garage have checked and cleaned the EMG valve, no better.
They say they have checked the turbo and thats ok.
To change the fuel valve, they say minimum of 1 day to remove, and one day to fit new one+ £800 cost of valve.
have told me to scrap it.
Can someone help me make a decision or provide miracle cure.
thanks feeder54

go to another garage!!! their code reader is s**t. with eml on every reader should pick up something. rev counter working?? my eml stayed on when my crankshaft sensor was gone and in linp mode the car produces a lot of smoke, misfiring etc. your problem most likely is electric so no need to scrap it . see what member is nea you with a code reader and you will have your car in working condition in no time

Crank sensor ok.  Water temperature gauge not working.  Codes as follows

The garage came up with P1220 start of injection control deviation.

P1590 Auxiliary heater- open circuit

The fuel tank is full.

Omega General Help / Car bad running and lots of smoke

« on: 29 December 2010, 19:52:12 »

I have a vauxhall omega estate 2002 2.2 tdi.
I went to start it and although it turned over, it seemed very lumpy and there was alot of black smoke which smelt heavery of diesel. I tried to drive the car but the management light was on so it lacked power and belched smoke, and kept on miss firing.
The water temp. guauge was is not working. I took it to my usual garage, they put it on the tester but it didn't come up with any codes. They are stumped.
The only other thing is the day before it hapened I was stuck on a camber in the snow, I did rev a bit as I was getting out and the management light did flash a few times

I can't use it can someone help me please
