Omega General Help / A/C problem

« on: 17 June 2011, 13:30:42 »

I reported an incident of total instrument failure on 12 June and Broomies Mate correctly identified the problem as Fuse 15 but a new fuse blew almost immediately the engine was started. We found that the fuse did not blow with the A/C off but failed as soon as it was switched on. With the engine running and the electric connection to the  A/C compressor disconnected, no problem. As soon as the compressor was reconnected the fuse blew again. The compressor looked U/S so we fitted a new one, re gassed and still have the same problem. It’s getting expensive now and any ideas would be welcome

My Cig. Lighter and Drivers Seat Memory still work, thank goodness, as I was on a long trip in France and was using two drivers and TomTom in the cig lighter socket as a speedo.

Thanks for that, it's certainly the right fuse but it blew again after a few seconds. I guess its a careful elimination of all the parts that might be causing the problem. Thanks again.

Omega General Help / Instrument failure

While I was driving my 1998 Elite 2.5 TD  at around 80 mph there was a distinct click and the Speedo and Revcounter failed, also all the other dashboard instruments and gauges went dead. Also not now working are the radio, windows, climate control (still works on manual) and trip computer. The MF display shows SAFE and the car runs well has anyone any ideas?

I have come up with the same tank pump answer and have had the pump and filter cleaned out (unfortunately the tank was full and I didn’t fancy doing it myself) and as last time when it would not start we could not find any live electrics at the pump have replaced the relay as well. I expect, however, to know for a while if the problem is solved and even then if it was the relay or the sludge that caused it. If it is the sludge in the pump its likely to only start after considerable mileage I have done just over 100K. From the few starts I have subsequently made it does seem to be back to its old instant start performance rather than the very short half second cranking I had started to get before it fires. Thanks all for the help and it certainly seems to be a not uncommon problem, I will report back if I have further problems.

Omega General Help / Starting problem 2.5 TD

« on: 10 September 2008, 20:09:13 »

 2.5 TD Elite. I have a long standing intermittent problem (getting a little more frequent). Starting when the engine is warm! Just occasionally it just won’t start at all, but if I wait, perhaps an hour or two, it will start instantly. I am told it might be the relay to the fuel pump in the tank but I can’t find the relay! Does anyone know of this problem or know which relay it is or have a diagram of all the relays (The diagram on the Tech Help section does nit list it)? Cheers. Miclyn.
