Yes, Andy B, car had oil cooler problem twice, after second time, oil cooler was, how do I say, partially renewed with stainless steel, radiator was changed, water pump was changed,all new rubber hoses , also new coolant. After that coolant is crystal clear, I m checking it every week. I'm thinking of spending a day of flush with water,  drive it, than repeat flush. As much as can. Hope that would get me through winter. And than I go and fix the air con and prepare for summer :)

You must have something similar to this in your part of the world  :y :y

Just realised I never attached the link .....  :-[
Forte is a trade name and do various addatives one being a coolant flush.

Hello again. Again, after a flush heating works only on HI position. Any other temperature setting is blowing cold

The matrix is blocked so badly that flushing does little to help.
Get a new matrix as they're cheap.
Fitting one isn't a nice job.

I must do that. Where I live, there are some aftermarket matrix, cost around 20 euro. Have no idea what brand. What kind should I search for, specific one or any brand would do the job

Thank you all. Now to get my mind set on replacing the matrix. Tough job, looks like that. Been reading the threads for replacement. My omega is right hand drive,  I still have to cut and bend a part of the plastic?

it's better than removing the entire dash.


If you're careful and neat with the cuts, nobody who looks at the car will know you've done it until they remove the fusebox cover.

Understood your steering wheel is in the left, can you open the link above? I just "skimmed" the vinyl away without cutting it. It was just glued to the foam. Then I cut the plastic part in a place seen in photo and bent it down with 2 kg plate. When job jobbed I joined the cut parts with two narrow and thin metal sheets and screws and glued the vinyl back. It cannot be seen at all that I was there.

Once you've fitted the new matrix, remove the plastic end off the old one to see why flushing them is a waste of time :y
