Omega General Help / Which alternator?

« on: 03 October 2011, 16:50:54 »

Hi guys just wondered which alternator I need. A 100Amp or 70Amp, I have a CDX 2.2 Auto Petrol on a Y plate.  I'm currently away from the car until the end of the week so can't check myself. Any help is greatly appreciated

Omega General Help / Alternator Knackered

« on: 02 October 2011, 08:10:45 »

Hi guys, just a quick one. I'm moving house in 3 weeks time and was going to sell the omega around then hoping to get a bit of cash, but typically the alternator has just decided to not charge my battery as the recovery bloke told me last night. I'm really stuck and don't know what to do. Do I pay money to get it fixed so I can sell it for a little more or do I sell it for less with the current fault?  Can't believe this is happening right now. It's a Y reg 2.2 16v CDX Auto

Hi guys. Been looking around for a code reader for the Omega and came across this one on ebay.  Is this a decent reader or not?

Omega General Help / Cambelt or Timing Chain?

« on: 12 February 2011, 21:10:18 »

I have a 2001(Y) 2.2 Auto CDX Petrol.  Do I have a Cambelt or a Timing Chain? I'm getting different answers from Vx Dealers in my area and I am really confused.

Many thanks for that, just need to find someone with a code reader locally.  I've had a look on ebay at a couple suitable for Vauxhall/Opel but for the Omega-B priced at £29.99 but very unsure as to what I'm buying.

Thanks for the super fast response.

The light still works so it must be an intermittent fault. I think I'll stay away from main dealer for now and maybe save some cash.

Omega General Help / Emission Control Light

« on: 07 February 2011, 19:38:51 »

[size=12]Hi guys, a little help required if possible.  Just bought a CDX Auto 2.2 2001 facelift model a couple of weeks ago.  I've done approximately 900 miles in it so far so its now sat on around 81,000 miles.  MOT'd 3 weeks ago with no advisaries.

The emission control light came on whilst I was on the road for about 50 miles or so and remained illuminated for a further 200 miles.  The light then went out and came on again the following day and remained on for a further 200 miles or so.  The vehicle was taken to the Vauxhall Garage and they said it was probably the Lambda sensor which would cost around £160 to get fixed.

After reading a few of your threads on here I came across the Paper clip and foot pedal test. I know now that neither of these work on my model, however, before I knew this, I did the foot pedal test and the Emission Control Light went out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as what to do next because I'm going round in circles. :-/[/size]
