I have also been mentioning this to a couple of my customers at work just generally chatting - someone mentioned they had the same problem I had and it was there oxygen sensor on exhaust.

I mentioned it had happended twice over past couple of months and always seemed to be after kick down (the spanner light then comes on and goes into limp mode then once restarted a couple of times the spanner light goes out and EML comes on constanly but no longer in limp mode )

I would have thought this would have brought a code up relavant to the oxygen sensor though mine just says P1625 - NB Internal Power Control Final Stage Low Input

Just thought I'd mention it though to see what other people thought.

thanks

Repeat: I would seriously advise taking this option.

Just to give a bit of an update, managed to sort the faulty temp gauge out, the spade connector had come loose so it was an easy fix.

With regards to the codes P1625 & P0700, I asked to meet MArkDTM's in Nottingham but never got any reply back but appriciated the offer anyhow thanks.

I've had these read again by another auto electrician who works alot with vauxhalls, he seems to think it's the lamber sensor and also the gearbox selector switch 

Still a bit dubious with these findings though the gear box seems spot on though everything works as it should on it, the car itself drives A1.

I think I will replace the lamber sensor, vauxhall have quoted me £93.00 and by the looks of the one that's on at moment it doesn't look to be a genuine part, not too sure what the lamber sensor actually does or effects if faulty either if someone could tell me please?

I still have the engine light on the dash but "touch wood" it hasn't gone into limp mode since reporting the fault last month.

Any other ideas help would be very much appriciated

Cheers

Send Mr DTM  a PM again.He may well have been busy,but tis well worth taking up his offer.He will have forgotten more about Omegas than the people your talking to are ever likely to know.

Morning,

Just when I thought all was going well  , the car decided to break down on the way to work this morning, it just wouldn't come out of limp mode and even in limp mode it wouldn't work in any of the autobox settings just revved alot in 1,2,3 and D.

Green Flag came out and read the codes P1625 & P0700 (I didn't tell him the engine light had been on for about a month now and that I'd had the codes read already) took the engine light off and restarted car all seemed ok sport button worked no limp mode or anything, brilliant I thought, but no as soon as I put it into drive nothing happend the car just revved and wouldn't budge just rolled backwards down this stupid hill, in the end I had to get towed home

Got it home and noticed spanner light was on again, switched off and on again spanner light went out and now got the engine light on constant just like previously, car drives in every gear as it should (only went up and down drive way don't really want to drive it until completely fixed now) which was a bit of a relief as I thought the gearbox was totally gone.

Mr Green Flag mentioned it would more than likely be the gearbox selector switch which someone else has mentioned to me, my question is are these expensive and where abouts on the gearbox are they located?? does the gearbox need to be lowered off the car ect...any help would be greatly appriciated please with regards to this and costs ect...

Thanks

Morning,
Just to give a bit of an update and plead for some help. Car was booked in yesterday for the gear selector switch changing (the part wasn't brand new and was second hand), recieved a call from the garage saying that even after fitting this part the car still wouldn't drive in any gear only 1st (auto box) any other gear it just revs and doesn't budge same as before.

My problem now is could this have been a faulty second hand switch (I was told it was from a working omega) or could it be something else??

The garage told me I'd be looking at BIG money for them to check wiring, ecu ect...which I don't have.

So now I'm basically left with a car that won't drive, my father in law has very kindly offered to look for a cheap run around for me to tide me over until I can save enough for something better and has advised me to scrap the omega even though apart from the gearbox issue is in A1 condition and I love the car and would be gutted to see it go.

If any one can give me any ideas where to look or has had similar problems where the gear box just revs and won't engage gear I'd appriciate so advise, the car starts fine not in limp mode or anything the EML is on but it seems to drive in every gear up and down the drive way yet as soon as I get onto an open road it just goes back to revving   

Fault codes read are P0700 & P1625

I have e-mailed MARKDTM for some advise and asked him to ring me if possible if he has any ideas so fingers crossed.

Many thanks for reading and for any help given

Wayne

Why are we worrying about the selector switch? P1625 is quite specific that the fault is on the circuit between pins 52 and 5 of the automatic transmission ECU which feed the Solenoid Valve - Hydraulic Pressure Regulator.

The fact that it won't now drive manually in limp-home mode might indicate a more serious mechanical problem with the gearbox, IMHO, but the first action should be to check the wiring to the solenoid and, if sound, the solenoid itself.

I can categorically state that it won't be a lambda sensor or the selector switch. Believe the fault codes, not Green Flag.

[marshall76]

Morning,

I've come to the desicion that I just can't afford to spend anymore money on the car as much as would like to.

I will be putting the car up for sale as it's far too good to just scrap, if I wanted to advertise it on here who would I need to speak to please as I don't think I have enough posts to submit anything in the for sale section.

Thanks

[Kevin Wood]

Apologies, but unfortunately the requirement for 250 posts before advertising here is not negotiable. We've had too many problems with sellers who join just to get shot of a car so now we require members to be well established before selling.

I wouldn't give up on it yet, personally. It probably only needs the front sump on the auto box dropped to access the solenoid and it may even be a simple wiring issue.
