Omega General Help / Q: Oil and water mix? Oilcooler leak?

« on: 06 January 2010, 18:53:27 »

I have also question about oil. V6 oil cap is  covered with this looking like a mayonnaise. yes i know,its oil with water.  Cap is covered with this,and also oil tube walls inside are covered with this. I know that little this on cap is normal,if short distances. But is this amount normal? I checked, and coolant is clean and all is there,nothing missing.

Daz does MOBILE Tuning, sounds like a job for him, IMO.
Off you go Daz
Just the start you need to freshen you up

Think even Estonia is out of reach for the dark one

Only 3 hour flight from Tallinn to London Went there last year.





Is there a way to test senors? Their resistance or something? ECU dont give any false codes.

Air intake sensor is thinkable. Coolant sensor then should also give false readings to dash also? But its ok.

Dont smell oil,but i think is missing(Must check later) I have owned it about week or two. So dont know excactly yet. I havent changed oil ,but oil seems good brown,not black. Its also in to do list.
 
I havent cleaned breathers,but want to do this soon. Need to find garage first.

I did paperclip test. Only 12 (start of diagnosis) and 31 with engine not running. So its normal. And if running,only 12.

Engine is working 90-95 celsius. So its also normal i think. Coolant is clean and green. Oil cap has a little cream. But as i have heard its normal on a v6, if driven short distances.

Location is Estonia. We have -10 C at moment here And about 60cm of snow. It should be a record of long times.

Computer shows only date,time and outside temperature.

Yes,i know that US and Englist gallons are different, i calculated L/100km to English gallons


Also if car is stayed out all night,then it starts about 3-4 times. With every start it runs longer and dies. Finally starts beautifuly.

Ok,then its fine, i rembember english.  Mostly only reading,not writing,so words get forgotten

Car is 1995 Omega B 2.5 automatic.
Sedan.

Yesterday i tested,about 9 at evening in city. So only few cars,not hevy traffic. I got about 15mpg, its about 16 L per 100km. Mostly easy ride,some harder moves with gas pedal.

I think its a lot.  Or not?

Whats the most typical problem? Is engine worn out or just screaming for big service(filters and those things).

Car odometer shows 230 000,but it is suspicious,because steering wheel is pretty worn.


Any information?

Edit:My English isnt very good
