Thankyou!! I shall get onto that

Just had a thought. While waiting for the car to 'cool', I'm not sure I remember hearing the fan going.
Could it be as simple as the fan not working? Or would this not cause the stalling?

Omega General Help / Getting hot then stalling

« on: 25 May 2009, 19:18:30 »

Hi Guys,

Having a couple of problems with my V6 and wondered if anyone can help (I'll try and keep it simple/brief).

Basically since I've owned it the temperature gauge has fluctuated between just below 90⁰ and just above 95⁰, sometimes going up and down in the space of a few minutes driving? Guessing this isn't normal.

Recently, while sitting in traffic the car has started to get quite hot (not going above 100 though); it then wouldn't idle without stalling, to the extent that if I 'coasted' it would stall while traveling.
Turn off, wait a few minutes, then all was fine - seems an intermittent fault as doesn't always happen.
But while waiting few minutes, checked levels, took oil cap off and steam was coming out.

Any ideas would be very welcome, sorry if I haven’t explained too well.

Cheers!!

Hi there,

Bought myself an Omega this afternoon - so thought i'd introduce myself and say hello!

Have purchased an S reg saloon, 2.5 v6 CD, c. 130k miles, in silver - looks quite tidy
I live near Wareham, Dorset

Thats it for now

Cheers guys
