Hi,
Oil level is fine but dash keeps telling me otherwise... Is it the Oil Pan Sensor unit (minimum oil level) that i need to change to rid me of this fault?
:y
-
Yes it sounds like it. I've had it where an oil change has resolved the sensor issue.
You could try wash the sensor out, but as it's a sump off job, I'd fit a known working/new one.
-
Ok cool, thanks...
So is it a drain oil situ to change the sensor? Best do an oil/filter change at the same time then?

I once bought a sump gasket for a 2.5 td but never fitted it I,m sure I still have it. bear in mind if you remove the sump. it will save you a few bob. :y

I have a feeling that there is something underneath (sub-frame?) restricting sump removal on the TD. As I have only had mine 16 years, I cannot be expected to know. ::) Seth will however. :y
-
As it is raining at present, I am not going out to check underneath, but will later if Seth is still not up. ::)

Correct Chris:
Sump off = Subframe off ... >:( :'(

Thanks Byron, saves me grovelling in the wet! :y

i had the sump off the green one i think but i did undo the engine mountngs and lift the engine on the crane ;D then had to reach inside the sump to undo the oil pick up pipe, :-X and that was fun putting it all back together, it had a cracked sump so want ed it off to weld up, tis doable but awkward :-[

This is NOT a sump off job . Remove 3 screws and you can remove the sensor. Or unplug it... its expensive to replace 60bhp or more. mine is stuck in short curcuit. but no gunk inside sensor or oil pan...

i may be wrong but i thought the actual sensor was attached to the oil pan so oil pan has to come off. i stand corrected if it isn,t so. i have an oil sensor but cant remember if i got for the 2.5td or a 2.2dti .

Blimey! Five years ago! This car has long gone :-[
-
Blimey ! P6ul K. Havent heard from you in a very long time. Still got that plod spec estate ?
-
Hi! Alas no mate, sold that on about two or three years ago I think and the bloke who bought it off me locally has only recently had it scrapped as it was quite rusty in structural areas... Damn shame as I said I’d buy it back off of him but things happened in his situation too fast and he needed to get rid of it. I’ve moved on to an ex Northern Ireland police service Vectra Special now...
Although I am keeping my eyes and ears to the ground for another Omega but it has to take quite a few boxes
-
What about the Escort (RS Turbo ?) in the lockup ?
-
She’s in my garage now 8)

Glad to hear you still have it. Seem to remember you were quite sentimental about it ?
