Omega General Help / OIL PUMP, and 'Coolant Level Warning' Info Please
« on: 22 October 2010, 22:09:46 »
1) Our high-Mileage 2.2CD displays its Oil Pressure Warning light over 3000rpm, especially in warmer weather. The Oil Pressure switch has been replaced, and 'Viscocity-improver' added, with little change.
I'm suspecting a weakened (old!) Oil Pressure Relief valve/spring, and planned to replace what appears to be an EXTERNAL oil pump, until my first quote offered was for over £140 plus carriage! My Jag one didn't cost that!! Does this price sound normal, or am I asking the wrong supplier??
2) Since purchase, the "Check Coolant Level' warning has been permanently displayed on the cockpit readout. Said Level has indeed been checked- and re-checked (!) and is perfect.
Assuming a faulty sensor ( quote: £40ish "...Including Header Tank" (Scam!) I wondered if it was worth trying to clean the old one first- and if so, how? Pressure-washer? Caustic??
Over to the experts!!
Thanks, Paul
