Newbie needs help ( don't we all )
« on: 06 January 2009, 22:08:57 »
Hi Guy's could somebody help me with this? I have a 2.5 on a 96 plate.
I've left the car for 2 weeks and had to jump start it as batt was dead , the car was running fine after this, the next day after driving for 10 mins the car started running a bit lumpy like or is a missfire but then an orange light came on ( looks like an engine ,sorry don't have a manual so not sure what it is telling me) and then the brake pedal went hard and i had no brakes. is this major or something simple?
its a nice car but it's not worth much and don't want to spend hundreds on it.

Thanks .

Matt.

orange light will be engine management light warning that something is wrong, you could try the paperclip test , this will tell you of any fault codes stored on the cars ecu

EGR nothing to do with brakes just controls emissions. Easy enouggh to remove and clean. Some owners just remove and blank off. See here for where it is. First pic. to the right of the coolant expansion tank :y http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189893355

Thanks Rob , if the engine is running really rough due to EGR valve would this effect the brake's? ( sorry, the pedal went stiff like when you pump pedel when the enging isn't running ).

Thanks..
