Omega General Help / Re: Yet another Aircon question

« on: 17 May 2008, 01:32:57 »

I took mine for a re-gas at ATS and he found the same problem with the lower valve (the upper one just has a scew in tyre valve in it) but the lower one has a ball bearing valve he said was leaking and couldent be replaced on its own all the pipes would have to be replaced
so charged me for the re-gas and left it at that because I was unwilling to have all the pipes replaced

Omega General Help / HBV--- Heater bypass Valve (or the heater matrix)

« on: 27 April 2008, 05:01:19 »

I got my car about 3 weeks ago and the heater wont blow hot, I looked under the bonnet and noticed the pipes going into the heater matrix and the pipes coming out of the heater matrix had been cut and joined together bypassing the heater. I spoke to the previous owner and he said steam was coming out when he was coming home one day and he called the AA and they fixed it. I assumed that they did a "get you home job" because the heater radiator was leaking, and as the price for getting it repaired I have been told is £500 I cant even consider getting it fixed. But............ Reading on here I now wonder if it might be the HBV How can I tell Does anyone know a local repair garage that will be honest with me and if it is the HBV how much to get it repaired and anyone know anyone who knows anyone?? Any help would be great I love the car but hate being cold !!
