Omega General Help / Expansion Tank Cleaning

« on: 16 July 2015, 07:52:44 »

Hi guys
How you all doing?
Just about to do a gunk flush on the cooling system and was wondering if the expansion tank is separable?
Can I split it into two parts to get a really good clean as it's pretty oily inside? (Yes I've changed the oiler cooler)
Dont have a dishwasher too as I've seen somewhere here that you can put it in one of those too.
Looking for a speedy answer as I'm intending to do it today later.
Cheers
Have an awesome day.

Omega General Help / Oil Cooler well.

« on: 27 April 2015, 14:58:25 »

Hi guys!

Hope you are all doing fine. Been a while for me to post my usual "novice questions" but recently been through a divorce and moving house bla bla but finally I got round to changing my oil cooler and I have arrived to the "Nirvana" after having to drill out 2 bolts that just wouldnt budge so surgery was required. What a twot!
Anyway I've finally got the plate off and removed the old oil cooler that seriously was gunked up to the max. But I'm not sure if what I've encountered is normal... The oil cooler well is up to the brim with what seems to be like a mix of black oil coolant and oil.
Is this right? Should liquid be there?
If yes do I leave it and just pop in the new cooler?
Should I clear it out?

Here's a couple of pics but it's not that easy to see but the darkness is the water/coolant/oily mix.

Looking forward to some speedy replies as I'm anxious to get this job out of the way and proceed with the flushing and oil/oil filter change.

Cheers Guys!

P.S. Varche...I haven't forgot you amigo. I'll be in touch.
