Title: Newbie alert
Post by: rollacorolla on 20 December 2014, 09:31:25

Hello everyone,

I've just bought a V6 3.0 Elite auto estate, W reg (2000) with  70,000 miles on the clock. I'm not very mechanically minded but have managed to change the oil, oil filter and fuel filter on my last 2 vehicles. I've found the relevant guides on this forum and am very impressed at how detailed they are - brilliant. The previous owner of my Omega showed me that the coolant sensor warning comes on but he didn't think it was serious. I found the guide to replacing the sensor but think this is too complicated for me to do on my own. Is this something that needs to be sorted out ASAP? I think I'll have a go at an oil and filter change and will probably do the spark plugs at the same time although that also looks a bit tricky. Is there anything else I can do at the same time in terms of general maintenance / checking for problems?

I'm really pleased to have found this forum and thanks to those who posted the detailed guides for newbs like me  :y

Cheers.

How do :y

Three hose clips, some coolant, £45-50 for a new header tank and about five minutes is all the coolant level sensor requires ;)
