General Car Chat / Vectra c 2.2 dti elite oil problem help please
« on: 05 September 2013, 22:12:24 »
Hi five months ago i bought a 2.2dti elite auto 03 platewith 115k when i got the car home i was going over it as you do and noticedthat the oil level was well up on the dip stick 1/2 - 3/4 inch above the fullmark, so as you would do i blamed the previous owner for topping up to wronglevel. I then had the oil filter changed using 5w 30 synthetic oil the car has now covered a further 2000 miles i havejust check the oil again and its the same again well above the full mark engineis cold and has not lost any water at all what can be causing the oil level to raise
Another problem that happens when the car is warm the oillight starts to flash on tick over assoon as you rev the car it goes out again this problem does seem to be gettingworse as at first as i said it only did it on tick over but sometimes when drivingwith revs below 1500rpm the light will flash a few times
Any ideas what the cause of the above would be ?
Are the 2 problems linked in any way ??

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / spare key reprogram
« on: 22 May 2013, 22:49:47 »
Hi guys ive just bought a vectra c 03 plate and i have a key problem, firstly there is no chip in any of the keys so im thinking its been placed near to the ignition car will start with both keys, but i do have an issue with the remote fobs for unlocking the doors and deactivating the alarm. I have 2 3 button fobs the 1st fob only has one button on the pcb (previous owner tried to repair) one small section of this pcb where the buttons connect is damaged however if i short out the lock and un lock this fob works fine, now fob 2 has had all 3 buttons repalced at some point each button will light the led on the key but will not open the door lock or lock it. I have tried to reprogram this fob to the car but nothing happens, so what im thinking is that as the chip is near the ignition from key 1 this is stopping the fob from key 2 being programed to the car ??

Im thinking of hard wiring one of these to the omega as the car is left standing for weeks at a time and every time i want to go out in it the battery is flat, the car charges correctly and the battery is only 2 months old so i was thinking this may help keep it topped up whats your view??
