Omega General Help / Calling all experienced V6 owners...
« on: 28 January 2012, 19:17:28 »
I'm a little puzzled, but I'm certain that this what I'm about to report will be common to some of you, so I'm seeking consensus on my apparent coolant problem...
Here's the physical symptoms:- "loses" approx 3 pints of coolant every 100 miles or so. Emulsification in oil filler neck. "dipped" oil shows no signs of water/oil mix. Engine temperature never rises above 'normal', according to the gauge, anyway. Does smell a bit 'hot' on parking it up after a longish run - more than 20 miles or so. No loss of performance whatsoever.
What have I got, chaps?
Car is 2000 f/l 3.0 V6 Elite, completely standard.
