Omega General Help / Re: Temperature hiccup
« on: 15 August 2010, 17:34:51 »Quote
Okies .. not the waterpump then
But why does it only run hot when towing and booted to over 3500 rpm ?? and cool very rapidly when the rpm drops ??
If it was a blocked radiator, either internally or externally, giving poor heat transfer, then it would take a while to cool I'd have thought ??
The car towed to The South of France 2 years back with much heavier work, and to The Lakes this year without any hiccups. I don't see it silting up that fast ??
It had a coolant flush/change in May 09 just after the thermostat change. (15000 miles) so it might be worth doing another and seeing what comes out I suppose...
Puzzled of Wiltshire... :-/ :-/
I'm not towing, bet it happened to me after climbing a mountain hill and stopping.
The rad was quit dirty and the only thing help is to dismantle and clean.

No one any thoughts on the waterpump idea
when I had this, I checked the thermostat, waterpump, replaced the heat sensor, flashed the system.
noting helped, only dismantle the rad open it and did thorough cleaning of all the tunnel inside.
did in a garage quite cheep

That's because the main fan goes on a bit pushing the heat to your legs

Omega General Help / eml is back
« on: 25 July 2010, 13:50:36 »
Two months after replacing the MAF sensor and eml off.
It's back on with code 0173 0170.
I checked Vacuum pips, no leak found.
Is it possible the MAF sensor fail after two months :-/?

Thanks for the comments. Problem appears to be solved. I took the car back to the air con technician who diagnosed that he'd overfilled the system. It's been done again and the problem seems to be sorted. I'm not sure about hte relationship between this and the high speed fan cutting in!?overfill Cause over heat to AC matrix that over heat main matrix and fun works more

I think it's time for you to do a thorough cleaning to the rad.
