Omega General Help / Re: Omega 2.2 diesel 03 plate running hot

« on: 14 July 2013, 22:05:43 »

Low oil pressure in a high mileage engine when warm/hot is ok as long as the light goes out the instant you touch the throttle

That is good to hear, it goes out as soon as the throttle is pressed.

Just strange that it suddenly is running this hot. and the fans are not activating at lower temps

Do the fans switch on when the aircon is working?,they should run then

Not always, although I have noticed if the aircon is on the fans are more likly to run.

Omega General Help / Omega 2.2 diesel 03 plate running hot

Hi All, a bit of advise required.

I am having an issue where occasionally the red oil light is coming on. This is only after being in traffic, on investigation I have found the following.
1) If I take a feed from battery to either/both fans, fans come on as they should. So ruled out a fan issue.
2) Even when temp gadge reading 90 degrees no fan may be on.
3) Usually full speed fan has kicked in when checking.
4) I am sure the care used to run about 80 degrees.
5) It feels like the large hose pipes have no water in them when you squeeze them. Is this normal ? How do you bleed these beasts ?
6) Could it be the thermostat not fireing on the low setting. If so where is the thermostat ?
7) Temp reading never goes over just past 90 degrees.
Water is at normal level in the expansion resiviour.

Any advice would be very welcome.
Ian B

Hello,

What options are there to replace the CDR2005 with a multi play CD system. My last car Had a CDR2006 (Anyone got a good one for sale). Will any other systems work with the remote controls ? Any that have bluetooth capibilities.


Please advise best options.

Thanks
