Does anyone have any tips on testing this h.b.v to see if it's at fault and also a part number for a replacement if needed

Ah great thanks for that... I'm guessing its a pig to replace due to location? ?

Is there any way to check or service this h.b.v??
And flushing the system is definitely on the cards.... I'd just like to locate/solve or fix the problem before filling it with coolant again

OK firstly what's a h.b.v??
Secondly I was going to day that the coolant smells and has lost all colour.... It's just like mucky water now.
When checking for mayo in the usual places ( non present anywhere) I did think there was a bit of pressure when removing the oil filler cap.... I'm guessing that's not normal either

I'm starting to think this car has a head gasket issue, it's losing coolant
How hard is it to change head gasket on these and is there a good guide with torque settings ect?

Omega General Help / 2.2 TB Gasket question
« on: 31 May 2016, 07:48:44 »
Just a quickie, does the Omega 2.2 fly-by-wire TB share its gasket with other cars, the reason I ask is this..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CORSA-C-THROTTLE-VALVE-BODY-GASKET-Z18XE-2H9-NEW-GENUINE-00-06-/151230089055?hash=item233604075f:g:lVMAAOxydlFS-jtt
It shares the same part number with Corsa..... the only thing is this seller also sells the exact same part number, but listed for an Omega... but charges a third more for it
?
Cheers

It's the inlaws car so I really don't know how it runs or has been running ... I've just asked him to monitor and see how it runs, but tbf I now need a tb gasket so I'll have it back within a few days anyway once the new one comes... By the way are these gaskets a generic part because on ebay the same part number is listed for alsorts from corsa's to omegas.

Well had the sump breather off and to he honest it was quite clean, a bit of crispy crud but nothing too major.
However I did take the throttle body off and gave it a good clean, the tiny hole was completely blocked up so cleared and cleaned that.... Not sure what it is but it is now clear

Yeah seen the sump breather guide, the two smaller rocker pipes were full of muck so the main culprit must be just as bad if not worse... i'll hopefully look at this for him at the weekend.... I better order a T/B Gasket too while im at it

Thanks for that, I can confirm that he did replace the cam sensor.... However it was just from a local motor parts place, 40 quid... So it won't be a genuine item.
I'm looking at stripping the throttle body and a big breather pipe... I cleared the two smaller ones
