Omega General Help / Unusual coolant leak - 2.5 Petrol

« on: 09 December 2025, 14:34:54 »

Having been very pleased the 2.5 estate passed an MOT for another year I was greeted with steam from under the bonnet on a trip to the tip.

There seems to be water at the base of the feed pipe to the EGR - anyone seen this before? Any ideas what's going on?

Many thanks

Specificly at the Hovercraft Museum. Normal drill is can bring cars onsite, including onto the only remaing cross channel hovercraft. There is a cafe and lots to see. Would be a Sat of our choosing.

Brilliant for EV owners

So far its all good for EV's they are either sticking with the 5p offpeak or moving to 7.5p depending on when you signed up etc.

As Al says likely to be adjusters - take them out and tip from side to side if they rattle and the reflectors flop around you need to take them apart and replace the plastic adjusters or replace the whole headlight.

General Car Chat / Re: 2004 VW Touran Diesel wont start, not lights on dashboard

« on: 25 June 2020, 10:17:27 »

Thank you all for the advise........the following morning is worked perfectly!

Clearly need to know what happened to have confidence in the future. Lots of codes logged when did get to read, I suspect a result of pulling all the fuses. (included those by the battery).

If I get any solution, will update here.

Steve

Hi Ben, kind of - took the cluster out and in a few times and it started and has done since this post. However the cluster lights and sounds don't work. Hey ho it passed several MOTs!

Steve

Hi Steve,

Did you manage to get this sorted?

Same happened to ours and then started again next day.

Thank you

Ben

Omega General Help / Re: Departure of an old friend

« on: 09 July 2019, 21:56:19 »

I have owned this Omega for over 13 years, a record for me, but now it has to go, witnessed by son and grandson. Charles Trent gave me £184 for it, and the friendly driver let my grandson look into his cab.

Did you have to haggle for £184? They quoted me £122 today for my estate 😞
