Omega General Help / BMW X25TD Engine Overheating Problem

« on: 27 April 2011, 00:08:16 »

Looking for help if possible.
Have 1996 2.5td Auto Elite with BMW engine. Had the guide pulley fail and was replaced with tensioner and belts in garage. But car keeps overheating since and goes to the red after about 15mins.
Trying to locate the thermostat on the X25TD engine to check. Have a Haynes Workshop Manual but doesn't cover the BMW Engine :S
Any ideas as to where it is? I Want to eliminate Thermostat 1st otherwise will check water pump.

Newbie Welcome Area / Hi Fellow Omega Owners

Finally got around to joining a group with same interest in car

I drive a 1996 Omega 2.5TD Auto Elite with the BMW X25TD engine.

Have had the car now for 9 years with 240,000 miles on the clock and still the best drive ever although have had the odd niggly things fail. Most recently being the Guide Pulley breaking just before christmas.

Love the car too much to get rid of it and hoping to fix all the faults eventually  [smiley=laugh.gif]

Looking forward to reading the topics with interest and glad I joined.

 Thx in advance
