http://www.antallaktikaonline.gr/opel/omega-b-estate-21_-22_-23/3864/10204/psygeiaki_toy_kalorifer

the refrigerator has spoiled the radiators.
You have to buy something else to repair;

Is there any guide for car with the steering wheel left;

[05omegav6]

Left hand drive really easy... Glove box out and follow the guide without the cutting

As for which one... All the same, but given a preference get a Nissens one...

[jimjimanta]

Thank you for the answer .
missed and got the http://www.antallaktikaonline.gr/van-wezel/1288780
because it is made in Germany.

You mention in this guide;

not should take out the dashboard;

[05omegav6]

On lefthand drive Omegas the heater matrix is still fitted from the right hand side...

On UK cars you need to remove fuse box and some of the dashboard. On Non UK cars, the glovebox needs removing, I refer to the guide just in case there is anything relevant in it once the glovebox is removed... It may be that you still need to carefully trim the dashboard but I have never worked on a lefthand drive Omega to be certain of the finer details

[jimjimanta]

I do not know what there is under the dashboard and which to cut.
to go into the process to remove the dashboard;
What is your opinion ?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Personally I'd cry if I had to cut my dashboard up like that. I see by the other post it is possible to just bend/peel it, which looks lots better.


Are you sure you need to replace the heater matrix? They can be flushed/cleaned.

[05omegav6]

I don't know. Without a left hand drive Omega I cannot say.

You can carefully peel away the soft covering, only cutting the plastic underneath if you do need to trim anything to make clearance to remove the heater matrix...

Bah... Will post a pic of mine and I defy you to spot the butchered bit.

Matrix can also leak... Mine failed at about 250K and car has always had decent coolant regularly

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Yeah, looking at the first set of pics that horrified me, though I appreciate the job got done. However, the second pics where the trim is just bent / peeled looks lots nicer, more than happy with that, when the time comes to change the matrix. 

[jimjimanta]

the problem to empty the Paraflou in patacas, do not think be solved by  flushed/cleaned.....
I am closer to cut dashboard. instead it off.
a small cut there LOW , I do not think too bad ....

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I see that 'paraflou' means 'anti-freeze' - what is 'patacas', please?


If we can save you replacing the heather matrix unnecessarily (or maybe the problem is not with the heather matrix?) then we will 

[jimjimanta]

 what is 'patacas', please?   
patacas =  Car Mats ....
i'm sorry but i no speak good english ... only few words ...
with help for google , write .

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Ahhh so the heater matrix is leaking! Right! Sounds like you need a new matrix, then, yes! 

Also don't worry, appreciate you're having to use a translator. I bet you speak betrer English than I speak Greek, though 

[jimjimanta]

I have not seen yet what exactly has.

perhaps, and do not have holes. but it loses by the Union on pipes.

after it will get there, better to change it.....
