i check the fuses under the steering wheel , they all look intact however i also managed to lock my radio , and now in search for the code, going back to my car papers there is a key replacement code of four numbers is that the same for the radio, and there is also additional audio manual with title ncdc 2013, i will try both and see what happens...

Give that code a whirl - only once mind.  Too many tries and you'll lock it for good.

Key code is not same as radio code!

You need your carpass.

If you are referring to Marks DTM or I, neither of us are in the motor trade.

Marks DTM live just south of Nottingham, I'm in Brackley, in deepest Northamptonshire....

[omega2.2CDX]

i see , i thought you might have a garage so i can bring the car  to you guys rather than messing up myself .
reg the radio code i think i found it   hidden between the papers...i will give a try now..

I'm in Nottingham quite happy to have a look if you would like me to (though Marks DTM Calib knows way more than I do). I have had a similar problem to yours though (now resolved) so feel reasonably qualified to comment. Only thing is mine is a 2.5 V6 so not familiar with the 4 pot. However the aircon set up is much the same.

The most likely fuses are in the box by the battery.

Where do you live  

[omega2.2CDX]

i live in Sheffield but i go to Nottingham quite regularly to meet friends

[v6coop]

Well if you are coming down to Nottingham I live 5 minutes away from J25 of the M1. Send me a PM and I can give you details if you want to call in.

I would really love to hear what happened here. Matter of getting an omega or not for me

What problems do you have?

[omega2.2CDX]

the main issue now as i mentioned before is the temp reaching the red lines on occasions, it is happening less frequently now with no particular trend, i can drive it for hours with no problems and next day after driving for only 20 min or so it starts overheating with temp touching the red zone....very strange indeed, not sure what's causing it

[bigall]

when my 2.2 began to overheat it was found that altho it appeared that the rad was ok it was infact about 80% clogged hence only 20% efficient - needs to be tested by a reputable radiator supplier / manufacturer as just passing water through it doesn't show up rate of flow
2.2's have two fans the one nearest engine is controlled by water temp and he one in front by air con - so as you found air-con on also  fan on
See if fan nearest engine is working by running engine  (with car stationary and air con off - until temp guage reaches about 90+ ish when fan should come on ( Icant remember exact temp when fan is turned on)

Good Luck

[omega2.2CDX]

yes this fan does actually work at around 100 degrees which is a bit late i thought

[stuart30]

yes the cooling fan is kickin in at about 100 degrees

Fans seem to be kicking in a little late ---- Mark ... do these have a sensor or other way to set when they operate

Yes but, there are two cooling fans which come on at various points at different speeds......hence check the fuses as only one fan might be working!

Two fans......do all 2.2 have same set up.

Looks like im missing a fan.
