Hi anyone help with check saying coolant level and brakelight check? Brake light working okay and coolant level,okay. Could this be a faulty sensor? Car is Omega 2.2 petrol auto 2001. Thanks :)
Taking car for a cambelt change tomorrow. Garage using cambelt kit, plus changing water pump for £285, is this an okay price? Should I ask them to check sensors? Is that possible? :-*
-
Coolant check - ensure float in expansion tank free moving and electric plug underneath tank is still connected.
Brake light - recently fitted new bulb? If so was if Halfords? Known issue with Halfords bulbs - use Vx or Ring.

Okay thanks, will check float. Not sure about bulb, only just bought car :-*

Neither have I .... but why would the brake check be any different between manual & proper gearbox :-\

no idea ;D

Brakeligth Check is normal on post 1998 cars, and should go once the brake pedal is pressed for the first time.
Coolant level - check float as described above
Price for a 2.2 cambelt and waterpump sounds steep to me :'(

What about cars between 93 & 98 then? Senators had brake light check, surely omegas didn't make a step backwards ...... did they? ???

My L reg (94?) manual had it.
On a good day, with light traffic, I used to be able to do M1, M25 and be half way down the M4 before touching the brake pedal and clearing the 'brake check' message.

It was on all cars with twin display so I would say cdx and above my m reg omega cdx had it

Early MIDs (the problematic ones), didn't say "Brakelight Check", but just lit up the "CHECK" indicator until you had pressed the brake.

If the float and plug check out ok, then you will need a new expansion tank......dont bother with secondhand ones, get a new vx one :y
