Is there a drain plug on the block of the engine for coolant draining, or what's the best way to drain the coolant from the cooler?

17
Update
 As I said torque wrench and OEM parts it's not something that we practice over here
Here's what I found when I lifted the cover of the cooler

So I'm getting a used cover plate until I get the original part  ,the cooler.
Thank you all for giving me great advices , and as always, special thanks to Dr Gollum for giving me links with all necessary parts that I need

Well , I m continuing tomorrow.
Previous owner did not take care of the car too much, I presume that was driven on water some time and I cant get the other banjo bolt out, i dont want to brake it. Is there some trick that can Be done with it, or just brake and try to pull out with special bolt that rotates in other direction.
Also I took the 8 bolts that hold the oil cooler but was too tired to play with it.
All the bolts were tightened extremely hard, but where I live, torque wrench is only used for engine head tightening. Everything else depends on the mechanic and his hand
Im ordering tomorrow the cooler and thermostat and perhaps the bolts , if I find them.
Also will search the forum for Nm values for bolt tightening
I will keep you updated
Thank you all for valuable advices

How do I unbolt the cooler bridge, I just broke one of the bolts , it looks like it's not an ordinary bolt

Sorry for the late response
As you can see I found it ( I hope I uploaded the picture  properly).
What now? Buy a new one or try to fix this one. old one has already been fixed once by previous owner. How to get this one out?
Do I replace all the gaskets with new ones , I m replacing the thermostat for sure , don't know if I can get the gaskets  in a short time.
Can I clean the petrol injectors , maybe polish inside of the intake manifold?
Thank you all for such a good advice. No mechanic where I live wanted to start working on it.

21
Well, I m not a mechanic, and usually do this stuff when mechanic s won't do it , or make me wait for a week or so. Yes , I'm ordering a camera from aliex at the moment :)

22
Took out the plenum , still can't see it , when I poor water in the coolant tank I can hear tit an see it getting out from the back of the engine , but it's far below the valve , even lower , yes in the ,,V,, sector there is a coolant left, but it comes from somewhere from the back. Should I take everything out and proceed?

23
Thank you very much Doctor Gollum. That's behind the engine but , what about the front side behind the radiator , how does the water gets there?

Omega General Help / Coolant leak from front and back of the engine
« on: 13 December 2020, 09:42:09 »
Hello to everyone , I hope you are in good health
I have a FL 3.0 V6
Few days ago started losing coolant and last night it was very obvious there was coolant falling on the ground. When I look under the engine , liquid comes out from two places, more from the front side , less from the back side , but I can't see from where exactly it comes. This happens when car is running.
I suspect the oil cooler , but have no idea what to do , anyone had similar experience?
Thank you in advance

Omega General Help / Re: Head gasket propably gone

Well, I m taking the car to the mechanic in Monday. For now there s no difference in the sound of the engine, runs fine, but I m not driving it, no smoke through the exhaust. I guess shit happens when car under load.
What is the reducer and what does it do?

Omega General Help / Head gasket propably gone
« on: 12 September 2020, 14:54:51 »
Hello to all. I hope everyone s safe and in good health.
Problem again with my omega
Out on a freeway,  going uphill, LPG as fuel,  130 kph in 3 rd gear  (range rover brand new was behind me so I had to be on high revs :)).
So, white smoke out of the exhaust, engine temp went up in red, lots of coolant went out of the expansion tank cap.
I parked immediately, turned of the engine, fans still running, waited till car temp went down.
Turned around, now downhill, and drove for 20 miles back,
Drove it like 140 kph, temp went down below 80 and did not came up. In the city, it went up to 100 degrees parked, but when throttled temp goes back to 90.
So, the verdict is most likely head gasket blown?
If so what brand would you reccomend, and what's the price of it in UK
And can I drove the car to work, plain road no traffic 10 kms away.
Thank you

Update, heavy rain for 3 days, driving in heavy rain, the rough running of the engine came back. So it's definitely some electrical connection going bad on rainy weather. I have no plastic protection cover beneith the engine, I m getting one ASAP, but I don't think that would make some difference

And I have no idea what did I fix exactly  :D
Well, after cleaning,  the ,, bad rpm sensor,, no longer shows on diagnostic so I suspect that cleaning the connector helped. Also the small vacuum that is behind the top of the engine and is connected with a small U shaped rubber hose., I cleaned that and fixed it to be in place, it was out of his place.Only thing that I don't know is where that vacuum plastic pipe that goes from it to the front of the engine where should be connected.
