RED OIL WARNING LIGHT
« on: 28 May 2008, 11:52:12 »

When putting my V6 into Sports Mode then upto 6500rpm the red oil light came on...very scarey.
Whispers of "bad oil pressure" and "get rid of it quick" were rampent.
Then my hero, sorry, my mechanic stopped and thought for a moment, "Should I take sump off, aye why not."
The first oil filter is in the sump and this was vertually blocked. He wire brushed the sump and cleaned it properly, new oil and filter.
Problem solved for about £80.
No lies, bull or tall tales just good, honest work by the very  best mechanic, who's also my good friend.
He sent my Omega for MOT in March and that cost just the price of the MOT. PASSED.
He did my cam belt last month and that cost me £200.( Vauxhall quoted somewhere between £600-£800)

Anybody in Lancashire who needs this sort of mechanic then contact him on:-
Dave Peel

Thanks,
 Darren.

A bullet dodged there!  :o

Loss of oil pressure at 6500 RPM is not good.

Still, nice to have a happy ending.
