Omega General Help / Temperature gauge going crazy.
« on: 20 March 2012, 18:39:03 »
I have noticed lately when I slow down at lights or completely stop my temperature gauge goes up and down like a yo yo, upto 100 and the back down to 95, almost revs like the rev gauge.
The fans also kick in but switch off after 10 seconds or so, it's like the cars overheating but it's not.
I travel 16 miles to work and the gauge always sits perfect its just when I stop.
Dodgy temperature sensor?
Sods law it does this when i put it up for sale, I am considering scrapping it now but it's such a good car!

Thanks for the help everyone, I am confident enough to do the belt, I just wanted to double check things.
I think it's because I have been putting the belt on the right side first so couldn't get the tension.

I am going to fit the other belt tomorrow as its brand new.
So if I set the bottom roller to 12 o'clock that should be ok?

I started my cambelt change yesterday, all was going well till tonight when I came to fit the new belt. It has no directional arrows, or timing marks, although one I had lying round did have these, so I have fitted this for now. Is the other belt ok to use? It just has a barcode on it.
Also, my car is a 1998, it has the bottom idler right near the crank, the video is different.
When I fitted the belt with all the timing marks and the tensioner all tensioned up the belt only has good tension on the left side, although the right side was slack, with the idler at roughly 12-1 position it has tension, no tension with it at the 3 o'clock position, but with the pulley being different is this normal?

Omega General Help / What does everyone use for the snow?
« on: 07 November 2011, 23:10:51 »
Does anyone use snowchains? Can these legally be used when you hit the roads that are clear of snow but still wintery conditions?

They also seem the cheapest for the timing kit, £87 with the VAT and delivery for the gates kit.
