Lee here, I'm ready to admit defeat and get rid of my omega 2.5 v6 auto

we have changed the crank sensor,thermostat and housing, water pump, cleaned the rad out with fernox, cleaned the crap out of the ac rad fins, and the guage is still going into the red band,

It will get up to 92 quickly and sit there for about 5 miles , then within seconds its on the red band, and the temp light is on.... stop as soon as possible, switch off, leave for a few mins and start again, starts at 80 and then drives ok for a short while, and back up to the red band... there is never any loss of coolant, no steam,. no hissing nothing...and when I put the heater on, the temp rises

Now I'm also having probs with the fuel system.... Phil fitted a new fuel filter, because the car was hesitating, like it was starved of fuel... or as my dad used to say its *hunting* for fuel

Since then the fuel light comes on  and stays on for about 5 minutes, then goes off, my fuel gauge seems to be playing silly buggers,

and I still have that stupid judder at around 50mph as if the gear cant change, but if I put my foot down it goes away, for a while at least.. Phil had changed the gearbox fluid and renewed the gaskets

Are you sure the temperature gauge is working properly?

I'd check the connection to the sensor which is on the coolant bridge.

Do the fans run? Should run constantly if air con is working, otherwise, they come on just above the mid point on the temperature gauge. (but verify the gauge is working OK first!)

Had a similar problem years ago with my 2.5,found a blockage in the brass tube in the expansion tank which the return hose fits to,it was grey sealant which i think may have come from the oil cooler cover plate

Check the coolant bridge seals and for the hesitancy check the coil pack for cracks/splitting  A while back i was about to get the hammer out to my car through various problems to yours but all sorted now and no more problems , yourve replaced a few things already so a quick check again on a few things should hopefully sort it . Dont give up even though you feel like kicking it

Send Daz (darth loo knee) a pm 

Had similar problems with mine.
Took a trip to pinkys palace and never had a problem since

Thanks for all your replies

Forgot to say the first thing we did was change the coil pack and leads, Oh and we changed the clocks/gauges in the dash to check it wasn't a problem there

where/what is pinkys palace?
