Title: HBV and other Questions
Post by: Wayne on 11 June 2009, 11:47:17
only me!!
(i can hear you all saying, "oh god"  lol)

i got a HBV from Vauxhall, cost me £46.75, ouch!
mechanic is fitting it for me sometime this week or next

i haven't had any coolant loss recently, so when the new one is fitted, what differences will i notice straight away? i think i heard it can affect "torque" - and obviously i will get heat as well  :)

i did ask Vauxhall for the "vac solenoid" but they had no idea what i was talking about, lol
"The Boy"  dont suppose you have a part number mate?

forgot to say, when you first start your Omega, if i just sit on the drive, it doesnt idle smoothly, there seems to be ever so slight fluctuation as the revs go up and down, not a lot, just a tiny bit, is that normal?
saying that, even after a fairly long run, the revs do the same thing  :o

got me oil an filter from Vauxhall now, so just got to do that and i`m good to go, service overdue!

also got a bloke in Cowley, used to work for BMW who is going to do the 4 rust spots on my car, i have seen his work and its truly wicked! you wouldnt even know there had been any rust


Laters....

HBV should cause no performance issues either way.

sounds like your idle air control valve wants a clean.
