Omega General Help / coolant loss again (sorry)

« on: 19 February 2008, 18:31:27 »

Here a question for you all!

After reading every coolant loss post I decided to look into mine... Fed up of topping up every few days...

But now i’m confused!  Ok, I have never once found a puddle on the floor, it runs fine, never overheats, if anything runs a little cool... (thermostat on shopping list)... no visible leaks or traces of antifreeze from HBV or any other pipe work.

So today I  managed to find time today to pressure test the system, plugged it up, pumped up and all pressure was held lovely. As I had the car on a ramp I took it up in the air and checked from the underside, still nothing...
After a cup of tea I came back pressure was there or there a bouts where I had left it but there was a fine drip from a 'thing'... What you guys i’m hoping can tell me is what this 'thing' is and what it does!

... Its located next to the battery and connected to the rad cowling with a jacket like from the idle control, one coolant pipe into the side from the N/S rad top another coolant pipe coming from the bottom 'of the 'thing' going back into the rad O/S. One square connector in the top. It seams to be leaking not from the coolant pipes but from the plastic body, it does look like there is a split in the casing as there is a few philip screws holding it together...

Does anybody know if its serviceable i.e. a 'o'ring because no doubt its mega money from the stealers.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope the description is clear to all  :-/

thermostate sits between the v of the engine at the front just behind the cambelt covers its a pig to get to but a good mech will take 2hrs ish. or have a go your self,

Is it cambelt off???

A V6 is compact but it's not that compact! No. You don't.

Thank god, mine has started to run cold, I replaced the cambelt when I got it, I didnt fancy doing it again so soon.

Its been said a thousand times before im sure but if you have a go yourself make sure you route the cable away from the exhaust down pipe.

Omega General Help / Re: Crank shaft sensor

« on: 08 February 2008, 13:35:47 »

My crank sensor broke down, car still running but running very bad, the code was stored but there was no EML.... I think its been said before to carry a paperclip in your glovbox and dont wait for the EML!

No, it will take 25ish clean starts to clear it self, the battery trick does not work.

Yep, I rechecked mine after a week and its clear.

Omega General Help / Re: Is it the DIS pack???

« on: 02 February 2008, 13:14:50 »

could be the crank sensor

Only had it replaced on 2nd January after a trip from Branston to essex on the back of an AA lorry!!

Surely it couldnt go again that quickly??

I think im correct in saying its possible to run the wire to close to the exhaust down pipe, this would cause the sensor to fail.
