Hi all

After some serious consideration and following the epic in my previous posts....http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=110676.0 I have decided my course of action will be to do the following.....

Change cam sensor (again
Change crank sensor
Change Transmission control module
Change Selector switch on gear box
Change gearbox oil and filter

Hopefully once this lot has been done and over a grand spent, the starting problems could be sorted. If the problem are still there after all this then i'll be posting here asking for a can of petrol and some matches!!!!

Cheers

Tim

No....stop.

Whoever is doing this work clearly has no clue.....any monkey can change parts randomly.

Starting issues will be engine related and nothing else.

The only possible way the auto could cause an issue is IF it was applying some additional load whilst cranking.

There is also nothing lika a grands worth of parts there.

Plus, there are a number of other 'service' type jobs which should be done way before any of this.

Crank Sensor was 96 quid
Cam sensor 92 quid
TCM 690
Selector Switch 182

All plus VAT from Pentagon Vauxhall this morning!!!!

No other codes showing, auto sparkie is ex Vauxhall Master Tech who works alone. He said the TCM would probably have survived the water but I decided if I was gonna do it properly I might aswell. If this fails I'll be down at the Volvo dealers in the morning lol

I hope it works for you, if not have you heard of my special snake oil?  It fixes everything car related and even better it's on special at the moment at only £500/litre (was£1000)

Guffer

I may take you up it!!! No good at fixing these things but I am good at throwig cash at em till they work properly lol

[05omegav6]

For a grand MarksDTM would probably have washed and hoovered it for you, having first fixed it

[Kevin Wood]

That's an awful lot of money to spend on nothing more than the hope that it might fix it.

Cancel the order, and get someone who knows what they are doing to diagnose it properly. I have never heard of a gearbox ECU failing, and to spend that sort of money on one is madness.

[Timw976]

Well there will be an end to the saga this afternoon, one way or another anyway!!!!

I'm not going any further with it after this and if it aint fixed then there will be a 2.2 up for spares and repairs

Given that the Omega is such a large and rarified beast, it will require 1.007 litres, so you'll have buy two bottles. It also has the shelf life of a month old aubergine

[Timw976]

The way this omega is causing me stress at the minute ill buy double and drown myself in the stuff!!!!

[Marks DTM Calib]

The thing is, its no the car thats the issue, its the person working on it.

As a quick overview, there has never been a Vx dealer in Nottingham I would trust and that stands even to this day.........

As for the selector switch (which can be easily cleaned and then checked with tech 2) and the transmission control module, you could probably have got these from Megavaux for a ton plus the TCM's just dont fail.

Where is the car in Nottingham?

[Timw976]

On my drive in Long Eaton

I would take that very expensive shopping back of car bits back to dealer now & get full refund.

Let MarkDTM take a look, bet you he resolves problem & its less than 3 figures
