I've had a small leaking radiator but kept the water topped up.
I had water from the exhaust and partner said some smoke came out.
He car runs rough like I said .plus I noticed both radiator pipes used to get that hot you could not touch them and they were solid when touched .

« on: 23 April 2015, 15:39:25 »
afternoon all I have a 2.2 omega estate and while on the way to work last night it decided to run a little ruff on 2 cylinders . While taking it easy the temperature climbed higher than normal after nursing it to work and doing a 11 hour shift I came back to the car and had a look at it . Topped it up with water and started fine so decided to take a drive home .Anyway while on way I stopped at some lights the temp went straight up to 100 degrees and then steam came from under bonnet luckerly end of my road so when I got back the top of the radiator had burst open and all mayo in the oil cap and ran like a bag of nails
Am I right stating head gone as I replaced the radiator and still same .

Omega General Help / code 0142. 1555
« on: 19 March 2015, 15:54:51 »
Good afternoon .
After replacing my rocker cover gasket on my 2.2 omega estate the oil leak that I once had has now disappeared which us a blessing .
Anyway while driving home I had the spanner light come on after reading the code it came up with the egr valve code 0142 I think if I remember right plus the code 1555 which is the O2 sensor . Any advice on whether to clean them or replace them both . Other than that the car running fine . A few little niggles
1 . Small water leak from thermostat hose
2. Small leak from looks like bottom of the radiator on the passenger side but quite easy to fix when I get round to them .
Many thanks mick

Omega General Help / key fob not work .
« on: 19 February 2015, 16:26:20 »
Afternoon all. I have a 2.2 omega estate that developed a oil leak as previous ads on here.
Anyway found out that the rocker cover gasket had gone leaking oil down the back and in the plug Wells.
So decided to change it other day all went well no problems as easy job anyway .
Once I finished it I went yo lock the car with the fob and nothing worked nog even the red light on the fob lit up so at the moment having to use the key which we all know the alarm goes off when you unlock it and open he door .
All was working fine before I fid remove yhe battery leads herb I unplugged the coil pack .
I have changed the battery in the fob and even tried to re sync it using the method on here but still no luck ..
Any thing else I can try as working nights not nice when I go work and the alarm goes off .
Thanks mick

Omega General Help / leaking
« on: 07 February 2015, 23:51:49 »
Evening all. I have been looking around the car trying to find these leaks. After cleaning the back of the engine up near the exhaust ( it's hot ) lol. There is trace of oil running down to the breather tube from the block.
The right side of the exhaust manifold is oiled up which I think the head gasket has gone.
Also I have a water leak I noticed a wet patch near the front of the car on the right as u look at it . No water in the oil and vise versa.
Going to strip it down in a weeks time so need to find leaks first well water one .
No evidence of water on the engine all seems dry.

Update . Drained the system again and refilled .at the moment seems fine but not been caught in traffic yet . Still heater not as hot as it should be so think thermostat needs replacing .
