Omega General Help / Re: Drop in coolant level and misfire

« on: 08 September 2018, 09:34:02 »

Hi James

Firstly Sorry for not thanking you for your offer of help.  This morning it seems the level in the coolant tank has dropped nearly a pint and we have steam coming from exhaust now.  We can't do much for a minute so we have borrowed another car for a couple of days.  Thank you for your offer of help but we are in Cornwall so it would be a bit far to come

Thanks Helen

Car was misfiring initially we had smoke inside engine bay which was the exhaust manifold which was cracked and we supplied the part.  That sorted that but not misfire.  They then read codes came up cylinder 4 misfire.  They swapped the spark plugs over but that made no difference suggested changing coil pack as they were second hand(previous owner) cleared codes car seemed OK but started to misfire when started from cold later and light on again.  Hope this makes sense.

Omega General Help / Drop in coolant level and misfire

Hi we have been having problems with our 2.2 petrol omega Estate.  The coolant seems to be dropping more than usual.  We have a misfire on cylinder 4.  We can't see any water.  Our garage has put in a new coil pack made no difference.  Car does not overheat and problem is worse when engine cold.  We are not mechanically minded but fear its the head gasket.  There is nothing in the oil or water.  Having spent £400in garage already this week we are at our wits end. Thanks
