omega v6 heater bypass valve (HBV)

(1/3) > >>

the mask:
Can anyone please give me some advice. I have a 2001 omega 2.5 v6 and strongly suspect the heater bypass vale is leaking at the rear of the engine. I have located and can barely see the valve but cannot figure out hoe to get to the stupidly placed item.I have searched the site and found various comment about the valve but cannoy find any instruction on how to get to it.I have contacted the main agents who's advice was to book it in with them or as one cocky little fat mechanic ( who probably won't fit under mu bonnet anyway ) said buy a Haynes manual. Could anyone please give me a general indication how to get to this vale and the easiest way to replace,regards. :y

Remove scuttle and wipers, access is a lot easier then ;)

Once those bits are off it will lift upwards off it's bracket so that you can move it a bit to get to the hose clips.

Yes, with wipers and scuttle off, access is better. Still fiddly, but doable...

Markie:
and do it soon as hbv leak/ failure ofter can speed up dis pack failure - as its sort of below the valve.... :o
