« on: 16 September 2008, 22:51:36 »
Hi, my 2.2 auto estate returns 26mpg around town and on its fortnightly run to London returns between 35 to 36 mpg these are readings from the mid on the dash.

If they are blocked it will be somewhere further down. They empty in the wheelarch area as I recall. You can test they're clear by pouring a small amount of water into the sunroof frame & seeing if it dissapears & drips out down below
If you remember the old fashioned net curtains that ran on stiff, plastic coated wire, try to find something like that & gently push down the drains, not too hard in case you dislodge the pipes, then you will have problems

Will give this ago tonight with the water to see if this is the problem.

okay, have now removed the rubber foam which goes up to the glove box, now i have a chance to see where water apears, have taken the upper section of the nozzle of so the scuttle will drain with no resistance, had the engine running for 30 mins or so and the climate control water condisation pipe was working well, so at least I have eliminated a couple of things. Got to try to dry the rubber foam unit that should be fun.

Hi, I checked the scuttle at the first time and it was clear, also have had a hose spraying over the front area of the car, at the onset of the leak and the scuttle was fine, the scuttle drain tube on the facelift is a short lenght straight into the engine bay and it was clear.

Hi, i have had this problem for about 4 weeks now, first port of call was the scuttle and it was bone dry, i only mention the screen as a new was fitted yesturday and the leak is still there, have ruled out the matrix as it is clear water and this has sent me down the climate control side of condisation.

2.2 model, have water in the passenger foot well, the scuttle is dry, also have only just had a new screen fitted no signs of any leak on the old one, screen was changed because of a stone hit the screen, the only thought now is the climate control with condisation, have noticed i never get any water on the ground, 1st of all where should I look for the drain pipe, also any other known problems around this area, taking into account we have had no rain and water is still appearing in foot well, have the carpet up and the larger soundproof part from the floor but have been unable to remove the other part that goes up and under the glove box. Hope this information helps.

Hi have just come home from a weekend from London, the Omega run fine did not miss a beat, It would have been a different story, if the work was not carried out a couple of days previous. Nice to know that I am not the only Omega owner on this forum living on the South coast. Hello Marie Omega Knight.

Well, placed the Omega in on Thursday for repair, was told how lucky I was not to have a wrecked engine, it was the water pump, one part had fallen of on it and must have got caught with the cambelt as the belt had a chunk out of it about a third of the width, when he took the cover of I was amazed at seeing the problem, so the moral is change the water pump at the same time as the cambelt assy( which I can say was not done at its last change as this pump must have done 76k), he changed the tensioners as well, but they still seemed fine. The car is now running like a dream again.

Of course, you could always do cambelt and pump yourself and save lots of pennies!

Whichever way, its cambelt kit, not just cambelt that needs doing.[/quote]

Might sound odd, but have not worked on a car since I sold a Landrover that would about 8 years ago, spent many hours repairing and the odd welding jobs on it a true off roader of the road more than on LOL, when I went back to cars I thought I would give the spanners up, and have used the same car mechanic since, thanks for the advise about the camshaft kit, he will be fitting the kit with a new water pump.

Have noticed a slight  dry sound to a rattle around the middle of the cambelt area the last couple of days, I am due a new belt assy within the next three thousand miles, so phoned my car mechanic up this morning and have it booked in for Thursday, for the belt and tensioners, also the water pump, this is the item that I think could be on the way out, as at the 40k mark the pump was not changed so its comming up to the 80k mark, am I correct in thinking this could be it, are they a common fault to go around the 80k mark. I can only think by changing every thing around that area should remove the fault, unless you have any other ideas.

Like the look of the 96 cdx (your quote best one so far) you must at some stage think I wish I kept one of  these cars having 11 off in a short period time.

Talking of the baby omega My wife drives a 1.4 corsa, we were speaking last night if the rumour is correct on the radio that Petrol might be going up to £1.20 Ltr I think the omega will have to be only used on the odd times and the corsa will be the main one during the week. Main reason I am on £70/80. aweek petrol with the omega at the moment, so dont like the idea of a 20% higher bill, fingers crossed this will not happen.
