Omega General Help / Re: Cam gasket on v6

« on: 20 December 2011, 00:39:10 »

I wanted a picture of the gaskets in place, does anyone have one?

I am pretty confident of doing the job but want a back up plan just incase.

Do I have to go over the bare metal work with a flat blade to get any old gasket off? How critical is getting it clean?

Thinking about it, I have been trying to keep journeys short because of the oil burning off the engine.

Thanks

I have been topping up fortnightly with oil. and it does seem to be coming from the top gasket on the drivers side of the engine.

Went to put oil in on Friday and the oil was milky like cream! does this mean the HG is on it's way out and there is Water in the oil?

There is definately a leak from the engine too!

Hi All

I have a smoke coming out of the bonnet,
obviously you can only detect this when the car is stationary.

I think I have a minor oil leak on the left hand side of the engine (looking from the front), and the oil is burning off on the hot parts of the engine.

I don't seem to have lost any oil, but I do believe I could be but it must be very very minor.

I dont know if it is related but I have a low amount of power steering fluid, about half a tank. But this is not changing i.e. I don't seem to be loosing any.

The engine temperature is fine and there is no overheating problem at all.

This is starting to drive me nuts, hope someone can help.

« on: 24 October 2011, 21:17:11 »

My Daughter burned her upper arm on the back of the seat earlier on today, left a nasty red mark

Had no problems with other migs, but this is my first leather. Are the heated seats a problem on leather?

Omega General Help / Re: Bonnet Won't open!

« on: 24 October 2011, 21:10:19 »

just have a look & make sure the plastic covers near the ecu & battery are seated down right & not impeding the bonnet from shutting correctly. from experience ( twice) its been the cause of my bonnet to stick

Good advice

Omega General Help / Re: Noise on the back end!

« on: 24 October 2011, 21:07:31 »

Thats fair enough! but shouldn't the noise come from one side, because my noise seems to be coming from the middle.
