Many Problems :( HELP????
« on: 12 July 2008, 19:04:41 »

Hi guys, I own a lovely Omega 3.0 V6 N - REG but I have a few problems with it.

I am wondering if any of you guys could help me solve these problems.

Ill start of with saying the AC.

1. The ac gas has been filled in 2 times from a speclist garage and yet in them 2 times the AC was not used as much at all and when actually using it, it dose not feel as cold as it should do and it seems as if though there is a leak somewhere in the gas tank where the ac gas is being filled into or it possibly could be something else.  


2. How do I diagnose my suspension all around? When driving normally on bends the car from the front end feels unstable.

3. Head Gasket – I think this is probably the biggest problem I have. I have a lot of gunk and oil sitting on my under engine tray. Some have told me it’s my gasket and tell me to sell or either scraps the car. I don’t want to do neither of them so I am wondering is there anyone here or dose anyone know somebody or a garage (excluding main dealers) that specialize in these cars that can be trusted to do such a job with a guarantee.

All help and advice is much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Appreciate that Marky Mark.

I have no other problems with the engine at all it runs and sounds sweet its just that white smoke appears and over heats a little over 90 on the dash. I think this is oil which has been spilt on the exhaust manifolds from both sides. It smells like a burning smell. All I know is that this was not me lol.

I only have used the ac in hot days didn’t know they pack up if you don’t use them on a regular basics.
