Omega General Help / oil cooler

« on: 03 July 2007, 23:16:02 »

Hi oil cooler has definitely gone in a big way,  flushed the cooling system out,
took it for a drive about 6 miles just as i got home the temp went through the roof
and the top hose has split halfway from the engine, i have a pretty pattern all over my engine
and in a loverly shade of baby poo.  don`t think there`s much oil left.
oh wel on to  tomorrow to see how good these engine really are.

If you find Oil in your water don`t use it,get down to VX and get an oil cooler
Only £90.50 + vat don`t get fob off with £230+ as the price has been reduced.

Cheers Pete

Omega General Help / Rattle

« on: 29 May 2007, 23:04:17 »

Hi, ive had a rattle since i had my car and my brother inlaw who had the car
before had it too, its been through at least 2 MOT`s its been in the garage,
but no one could find it, it was coming from the  front passenger side, it
sounded like a socket bar.

I have just found a piece of spring inside the front spring, it looks
like its been there for a long time, will have a look in the light to see
if it is part of my spring.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Cheers Pete
