Omega General Help / Oil Cooler Pipes
« on: 08 November 2011, 09:54:58 »
Hi, can the oil cooler pipe union nuts be removed at the cylinder block end with an open ended spanner or can it only be done with a crows foot style socket (something I don't possess)?
Thanks,
Mike.
Thanks,
Mike.

Would agree with generally fitting new but at this stage not sure if head gasket has gone as well.
If hgf then car will be scrapped so no point in buying anything new just jet.

Still not sure where leak is coming from but I have a bigger problem now - water in oil.
I knew I had an oil cooler problem as there were traces of oil in the header tank.
Could pressurising a cold cooling system (about 1 bar) force coolant into the engine oil?
Thanks, Mike.

Now have cap with valve (thanks Razzo) and can produce constant coolant dribble at will.
Its not coming from the HBV and not leaking into the 'V'. The source seems to be back of engine on passenger side.
What's next to come off for a better look or any ideas where its coming from.
Thanks,
Mike.

Thanks for the replies.
I've removed the plenum, inlet manifod and black mounting plate but haven't found source of leak.
Its definitely not the HBV.
Does anyone know where to buy a "quick release coupling" as per the pressure test maintenance guide : http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90671.0
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I have the same problem. Coolant running down between oil filter and gear box.
Have removed windscreen scuttle and its not coming from hbv. Anyone have ideas of likely souce of leak before I start removing plenum and more?
Thanks,
Mike.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Speaker/Shortage problem
« on: 14 September 2010, 15:51:05 »
Stereo came to life for a couple of minutes and now nothing. I guess there must be a short somewhere between the stereo and the rear os speaker. Is there a usual place where these break/chafe?
Thanks, mikeh.
Thanks, mikeh.

Disconnected rear o/s speaker at door card and still no sound from other speakers. Reconnected speaker and buzzing/crackling back. Also, no loud beep when confirming stereo security code.
