Omega General Help / Re: oil cooler pipes?

« on: 16 May 2010, 14:41:16 »

A crows foot spanner is the tool you need for this job. It is possible to gently bend the pipes out of the way at the top to alow room to get at the cooler, but it is a gamble, they can break while doing it. your call wether you take the risk.

ill try the crows foot spanner you talk about because ive already tried bending them out the way . didnt quite work enough to get the nut off the rear one. Thanks for the reply dude

Omega General Help / oil cooler pipes?

« on: 16 May 2010, 14:20:39 »

right.. well basically i stripped the top half of the engine down to change the oil cooler today as its nackerd but the 2 oil pipes you need to take off on the side of the block was the problem. I cant undo them :S. is there a certain way to do it? because either my spanners are too long or a certain tool etc to do it. had to put it all back together untill i can find a way to do it so if anyone knows how could you tells me please . p.s... the engine management light i think it is... is on now but i pressume that stays on for a bit till the engine configures itself out again ?

Thanks. Dave

checked tc and that works. also when the lights are off abs works fine. both dont work when the lights come on. Dont have cruise control on this model. Got some snow flake button thing that i dont think does anything (no lights show up when pressed) How do i go about cleaning sensors? (where are they) Thanks

nah nothing like what you just said is happening but maybe that'll come soon like you said. Everything on the car bar these 2 lights coming on is fine and working as it should . just hope it lasts a few months till i save up some more money. Nothing bad can come out of it tho other than maybe ecu dieing?

just been given a omega off my father as my car gave up and every now and again the abs light and traction control light comes on. This wont go off till i turn the car off and then back on but even then it could come on again maybe 5 mins up the road but sometimes 20mins etc... any ideas on this?
