My solution - fold up some paper to go behind the battery to give it more support. End of problem.
and i will forward the yahoo url. I think they mean push the button on the key fob, Try it with ignition off & on, can't do any harm. Dick
ref cambelt change on your 2.2 cdx if its petrol i would change belt soon for peace of mind, if i remember book says 60k ish get pulleys changed aswell as these go round a few times and are often neglected it was an extra £28 for mine, my local dealer gets high milage 2.5/3.0 with snapped belts, the damage being caused by worn pulley bearings. Alll the best
Don't bother trying to change the cam belt on your 2.2 Omega, 'Cos it a'int got one!! I'ts got CHAIN driven cams!! Mike (Walsall)
Has a mounting bracket and all cable from back of unit to back of radio - I had installed in a Peugeot because also had a Philips head unit so was matched. Cable also included all the remote links so that change / ffward etc all worked from the steering wheel - understand that the key link is via the radio unit though. Expect bracket will not be 100% but cable could be OK. Mike
Ref brians comment ref cambelt change, its not mentioned if the car is petrol or diesel, but what i can say,(as i mentioned in my reccomendation to change it if he does not know if its been done)is that a 2001 PETROL 2.2 does have a belt, both my dads 2001 2.2 petrol, and my previous petrol omega both had their belts changed c/w pulleys iaw Vauxhall instructions. i know newer engines have chains, but to ignore this and assume its chain driven could be costly!

I'm sure you have all possibly had enough of us 2.5 td hot starting problems people, but as I would like to solve the problem on my car wondered if anyone could tell me how to go about finding out the cause and fixing it. I have noticed that someone had exactly the same problem as I am experiencing. It sometimes cuts out at at traffic lights and roundabouts, and won't start very easily when the engine is hot. Basically I just keep the starter motor turning for about 30-60 seconds and it will eventually fire up. I have seen that there can be problems with the fuel temperature sensor etc. And saw that you can check these with tepid water. Is it possible for someone to tell me where to get to the sensor/s, and how to carry out the test. Thanks
Thanks John
My eml used to blink when i took my foot of the throttle, but would just go out unless u hit the throttle too soon then limp home mode. If the light stays on i think code is fuel out of range. Filling with petrol really exascerbates the problem. I did it twice filling up while dreaming of wakeboarding (thought it was boat).
I think that there are either two types, or at some point the valve cover may have been modified as well. There is a 'kit' which has some other seals as well. Check with a dealer they should know for sure, but rest assured the leak isn't rare.
this runs the battery down overnight.if i start the car the battery light goes out.until i turn the ignition off again when it comes back on..any ideas as its got me stumped...cheers neil
you need to get an auto electrician to check out your alternator, when the diode packs in it allows the current to pass both ways (draining battery over night) through the alternator instead of just one way, but it will still charge ok when running. Les
