Thanks Viral_Jim and for Stemo I want to inform that we have hot days almost every Summer.  Now it does not look very promising...

Sure, but hot day and engine hot when you stop it, oil pressure is zero but coolant not, that was my fear...

Changed Oil Cooler to daughter's Astra J. It had "Black Ring" in top of expansion tank a long time. Heard that engine A16XER is famous of this kind of problems. That car was/is also losing coolant, not much but losing, hopefully not to oil side. Let's see if that still continues. I did not like the cooler construction; six pc. of O-rings which can leak coolant out. If there is internal leak 'Oil to Coolant' it might perhaps be possible that also coolant can go to oil?

Thanks for all tips, now back at home and checked rear lights grommets acc. to Marks suggestion. Both sides ok in wings, have to check same thing in tailgate cover side tomorrow. Seem to be a common problem in Astra J, Internet is full of text about this. The "Rear Box" and rear Bumper might have a role here. When rear light were off I saw a hole in bottom there going somewhere down, perhaps the water goes somewhere from there but not out, it is a bit strange construction. Have to study it with my wife, so that I am inside and she spray water with garden hose etc.

General Car Chat / Water in Astra J Fastback Boot, year 2010
« on: 03 May 2024, 12:11:49 »
Realized it Last Summer but thouht that boot had been open. No, it is not that. Very much water. Where can it come from. The spare weel in bottom is swimming in water. Only thing I see is the rear wiper shaft going through rear window is a bit loose, please help.

Hi, and thanks for comments, so...

1. Can I screw the valve informed by Jim82 directly to the existing one or do I have to replace the old one with it?
2. For biggriffin's idea I need perhaps some explanation or is the High Pessure valve just the valve Jim82 proposed, hope you can provide a link, this all is new for me...

Omega General Help / AC Filler Valve Leakage
« on: 02 May 2024, 12:56:55 »
Had today AC-service (Y26SE), checking leaks and changing the refrigerant liquid etc. All ok except we found that the lower filling valve in front of the car started to leak.

Took a closer look and found that the leaking one has not a Filler Valve (inner part) like the other in the rear. So in rear the valve is like a tyre valve or like part No. 6 in the enclosed pic. But the front one is just a hole. In the hole there is something which you can push and increase the leakage but leak does not stop when releasing. Acc. to 7zap I seem to have construction referred as part 2. I guess that in this construction the separate inner part really does not exist. Any experience about this? In the plastic protection gap there is a rubber seal, If I tighten it I think that the leak stops. Strange, do I need the whole Part 2 or did I understand this in a wrong way?

Completed finally my camcover change, no leakages anymore but terrible smell around the car. Had to add about two litres oil before first start as there was nothing to be seen in the dipstick. I think most of the lost oil is burning around exhaust manifolds.
