Yep just checked it, it gradually gets sort of warm but hardly even luke warm while both matrix pipes are hot.VX parts or elsewhere. I take it they will have a new transfer pipe and or the o ring seals.What about the thermostat any ideas on GM parts numbers would be great.Also while im down that far is there anything else that can be done at the same time> Thanks Gavin.

Omega General Help / HBV Possible
« on: 18 December 2019, 19:31:43 »
Hi all, thanks for the recent parts and advice i have taken apart the used gear selector and cleaned it out and regreased it ready to go on the car.I noticed that when i had the car started it did warm up gradually and both of the matrix pipes are hot.Also the gauge did start working then sort of dropped back off to zero.I have flushed the coolant out and did get some light brown water out in doing this but noticed that the expansion tank still not even getting a little bit warm with the cap on and theres not really a flow through it.I it the HBV on a V6 and should both matrix pipes be hot.Im not so sure its the Thermostat but i guess i need to test it or just take it out.Many Thanks Gavin.

Thanks mate soon as this weather in kent gets better lol, i can really start working on the car.I am going to rent a ramp and start doing some of the work required.I need to check if the battery is ok and is being charged as almost went flat other day.Powersounder didnt go off so need to check and see if its removed.As far as the themostat it did reach temp after a long time on and the gauge worked in the car, so proper coolant flush and matrix flush and refill i think first before replacing it.I think the car was sat up outside for a good while.Then look at taking off the gear selector off the car stripping it down, clean and regrease then if not replace.The brakes feel very slow to stop it so need to check them over.I reckon it needs a new pulley kit with belt and i need to check cam belt situation as paperwork doesnt have anything.So new cam belt kit and oil plugs etc.Its on 99k so would be big service i suppose and autobox is sure to need new filter and ATF change.Other than that it seems to drive well no knocks and the selector settled in D and didnt throw up any warnings on a drive today.Brakes do feel sort of like there very slow to act.And the caddy is stuck in the Radio unit.Lol Always Knew there was work in it but for 900 quid hopefully it should run well.

Have read in another thread of someone having a similar problem and having TC light and Spanner orange car light come up due to that switch.Also if you gently push left or right the fully lit yellow gear indication lights all go out if its in drive.What grease should you use to put back in it when its clean.

Yep your right as ive just been out in it again.There was no orange car spanner on dash but Traction control and the orange spanner both came on at the same time permanently.

Just taken it out for a quick drive autobox was working as it should no orange light on the dash it must be that gear selector switch on gearbox.It was smooth in D and kickdown worked fine.Still no heat and temp gauge flat zero.

Hi everyone ive been out to the car and cycled the gear selector back and through the range 6 or 7 times slowly and between D and N the yellow selector lights flicker for a second or so.I also hooked up a Autel canbus code  reader and read the codes it was showing zero.But i noticed the orange spanner light was not on the dash anymore but i guess i need to take it for a drive and see.

Wicked nice one.Was thinking it might be toast but have worked on a 2.2 before but it was a manual.Ive taken a look at the old guide for stripping it down and i see what you mean now its on the gearbox housing and i supposed it gets mucked up inside on the tracks.Is the orange car spanner light directly related to that fault or is that something else.

If theres anyone in kent who wants to do the work i will pay cash, as i am working 7 days a week at the moment and it tough to find time to start working on it myself but i would be really thankful.

Thanks mate ive just been outside, its freezing out there at the moment and checked the coolant level it seems fine nothing in it no oil etc.I will get the gear switch cleaned and get a new thermostat put in.At idle now there no orange spanner and sports mode can be selected from the stick again there no faults on the info screen other than cdc error.Will keep you updated and great to be part of such a great community again.
