« on: 14 February 2012, 08:15:10 »

Hey guys! I put a bottle of steel seal in a week ago. Thought I'd try it. Any way after following the procedure on the bottle I now have a heater.. Yh it started to work. It still had a bit of pressure in the system so I've put another bottle it which I does recommend for this size of engine. Saying that the heater is now working tell me it's working. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Hey guys. Yes I heard about the carbon test. One of our fitters showed me it yesterday but he didn't have time to do it and my garage does not have one, cos he says head gaskets are straight forward. Hey and it a head messer alright no I didn't get it sorted,it's been like it for well over a year but slowly getting worse. Hey red I'm in enfield London it won't let me change my profile info on my iPhone so I'll do it later, no sure why it's not on there. Glad you said it tho thanks. I'm working in the Olympics at the mo I drive diggers so I'm gonna see if I can find a garage around here can do the carbon test, then I'll know for sure? Saying that if there's anyone about that can help I would rarely appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Ok it's got worse now! I have bubbling coming out of the header tank. I filled it to the cap with water and it's like there air being blown through it I'd now defo say it's the head gasket. I'd say this is what was wrong with the heater. That's £650 down the drain.

Omega General Help / Re: Dti drive belt installation

« on: 21 January 2012, 12:43:47 »

Great thanks mate. That's how it is on but it squeals like its slipping on the pump. It just didn't seem to have enough purchase on the pump, cos when it snapped i just guessed it. The only belt that stop it for a while. is the soft ones from halfords. A new one every couple of months ain't bad I know but I just wonder why it's doing it cos I've changed the water pump now.

Hi guys tell on my dti I've complain of a constant squeal from the belt. I can't seem to find a diagram of set up. So the question is have I put the belt on right after it snapped. Does the best run clean across the top of the top 3 pulleys? I can't see any other possible way but it's just that it hardly touches the water pump pulley and that's where the noise seems to be coming from. Has any one got a diagram?

Vac hoses ok. No change in temp at all really warms ip to bout 85 and stays there. It was working this morning with only a small bit of revs say 1500rpm and it was -3.5 on the dash. So that would make sense with vac hoses. I'll get that looked at. Thanks guys.

A pump would be the obvious but I've just changed this and it's the same as before mabe even worse but hard to tell. As I say I usually do nights so clear road high revs. I hope this is all related so I fix all in the end with this one. I was sat at the lights this morn keeping it above 2000rpm.

I doubt it's an air lock mate because it was doing it before I had the thermostat changed so they done a fluid change then but I suppose it's still possible. A bit of a weird one really, I was hoping someone on here would have had a simular problem and have had it fixed. Could have done with a heater this morn.

Hi there! The fan still blows a full blast but cold! Untill the engine revs up to almost 2000rpm it just clowns cold. I've been driving toying in lower gear to keep revs up. Not sure about the voltage Chris but I can get that checked out too. It's not getting faster with revs if that what you mean mate it's just the heat that's affected. The temp on dash is 80 and the you stop at the light and it blows cold. When reved up get warn instantly almost. Could I check voltage mabe?

Hi guys. My 2.2 dti heater doesnt work below 2000 rpm. You have to rev engine to get heat let the revs die and no heat. I would rarely notice as I only usually drive car at night on a clear road to night shifts. But today with ice in the morning I found out all about it. Ive had problems with a pressurising header. Suspect head gasket, got it booked in next week to put something in the engine and see does it change colour. That's what they told me! Put a new water pump and thermostat. Hbv is on order! I leave the cap loose so the pressure can leak off. Is this more signs of a head gasket or something simple? Thanks in advance.
