Omega General Help / omega v6 rattling noise

« on: 08 November 2007, 17:50:51 »

Hi
I my friend has an omega 1999 v reg 2.5 v6 engine which  he just bought and noticed when the engine is cold it works perfect but when the engine warms up after a short drive the oil pressure light comes on and goes off when he accelerates but noticed as well a rattling noise coming from somewhere  underneath the valve covers could it be lack of oil or the oil pump is not supplying enough oil to the engine when its cold like I said it does not do it any help please.

Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the advise given here car went back to the garage yesterday
could find nothing wrong advised me to go to another garage and put car on computer, computer reading saying that a loose connection in the wiring somewhere ,called back garage and took it back for a double check in the end the garage jacked the car up and found one of the connectors to the gearbox was half way out of its pins back in place and lights on dash went off all back to normal now thanks again for the advise .

Hi,
    Replying to mikkethealarmguy When I collected the car I have noticed that the radio still worked and did not have to code it again so that means like you suggested that the battery was never disconnected
while work was carried out
thanks

Hi
    was suggested to do a paperclip test and to go on faq section to see how to do it but mine is a 2001 model and on the faq at the end how to do the test it says (After 1999 the chipsets were altered so it was no longer possible to flash the codes out this way. ) is there another way ?
thanks

Hi Again
            I think I have mentioned it allready, it is an LPG converted car and beleive me it is very hard to be sure that everything is in place because there are loads of wires and pipes going accross and they are all tied up together with wire ties.
thanks again

Hi All
        I have read your replies to my problem went to check all you have advised and it seems that everything seems to be in place as far as I know,can I ask if what you have suggested like the crank sensor and all the other sensors you asked me to check, will this result in the gearbox going on limb mode,and could it be that the garage might have switched over a connector.
thanks :-/

Omega General Help / Automatic transmission fault

« on: 02 November 2007, 16:24:26 »

  Hi all new here with my first topic
     Just had a head gasket change on my 2001 51 plate omega 2ltr Auto petrol LPG converted engine when picking up the car and drove off from the garage I noticed that the auto transmission light was on and while taking off it seemed to drive off very slowly gathering speed on the way.I put it on first gear and it took off normally,it seems to do it when it is on drive mode,I tried the auto transmission sport switch on the gear knob but it is not working as well. Has it got to do anything with the head gasket change ? disconnecting the battery whilst in the garage because this fault was not there before I took the car in for the head gasket replacement Any help or advise will be very gratefull
  thanks

Hi All
Same omega 2ltr 51 reg petrol lpg conversion was driving the car back yesterday from garage and it was dark put the lights on and when I looked down to the gear selector noticed that the indicator light telling you in what gear the gearbox is was off.I have noticed that when you put the headlamps on the light on the gear selector goes off vice versa when you switch the lights off the gear selector light comes on I noticed as well that half the dash illumination are off as well meaning half the light of the rev counter and the petrol gauge are off being the first time driving the car in the dark I dont know if it was like that when I bought it last week.any suggestions please
thanks
