Omega General Help / Re: Omega 2.5 V6 Estate Flickering Engine oil Alert

« on: 28 March 2013, 13:53:58 »

Thanks all, hope to drop the Sump over the weekend and check it out.
@tiger_gonads, changed oil and filter about 3 months ago. Though car not frequently used.
@dbdb, oil did gauge correctly.
@Kevinp58, where is the oil pressure switch located.
@Kevin Wood, Is the relief valve different from oil pressure switch? And if different, where is it located.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega 2.5 V6 Estate Flickering Engine oil Alert

@dbdb, thanks 4 ur response.
The oil alert will not flicker when the engine is idling, or the gear engaged without pushing the gas pedal to rave the engine or accelerate but once you push the gas pedal down to accelerate or already on motion accelerating with ur leg on the gas pedal, the oil alert will be flickering.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2.5 V6 Flickering Dashboard engine oil alert light

« on: 26 March 2013, 05:57:38 »

I was driving home from work and noticed the engine oil alert indicator on the dashboard flickering. I removed my leg on the gas pedal and it stopped and when I accelerate, it starts flickering. And since it was only a month ago I changed the lube oil, I checked the oil level and it was ok but on the precautionary side I still added a litre of oil. This did not eliminate the flickering. Though I still did drive it 4KM to my home.
When I start the engine, as long as I did not press the gas pedal to raise the engine rpm, the oil alert will not flicker.
Pls what is causing this and how can I get it sorted out.
Thanks        -Digital

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Air Con blows 30 amps fuse when switched on

« on: 29 September 2012, 00:27:48 »

hey Guys, the stuff is finally sorted out. The wires to the compressor got fused together inside the cable housing, maybe as a result of the old compressor that was defective. It was so hiding that it will be the last thing to come to your mind to have it checked.
Thanks all.

@Kevin
I happen to have given this stuff a full check 2day. The beast is a 1997 2.5 V6 Estate model. With manual heater. The fuse that blows is F15 20A that controls the instrumention lights & other controls. One auto electrician I initially gave the car to, wrongly replaced 30A fuse instead of 2OA, hence the wrong statistics earlier. After a thorough check 2day, it is F15.
The car runs well without switching on A/C but as soon as the A/C is switched on, the Fuse blows within 1 minute and the dashboard goes blank. The engine will still run but like a generator without load
Thanks

It only blows fuse when I switch the a/c on. Is there any way I can test the system without using the compressor?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Air Con blows 30 amps fuse when switched on

« on: 17 July 2012, 22:11:06 »

Hi all, My car is Opel Omega B 2.5 Estate.  I was driving with the a/c on and suddenly the dashboard instruments went off.  Later, I discovered that the compressor bearing is packed up, I changed the compressor; though with a used one from another car.
Now, anytime I switch on the A/C to regass, a 30 amps fuse in the fuse box below the Steering (which I believe controls the dashboard instruments) blows and the a/c trips off.

Pls can anybody help me out and tell me what to do.
