Coolant spurt lhs rear below coolant bridge
« on: 11 October 2010, 18:13:04 »
Hi all back after some years.
have Omega-B auto 2.5 1999 with considerable coolant leak

I have replaced the seals on the coolant bridge but the coolant spurts to rear from below the shelf supporting the dist. on lhs (passenger)

There are 2 metal pipe here above the bellhousing which go between the cylinder heads to the oil cooler? but don't appear to be culprit.  This is well below heater control valve and heater hoses, which are dry

Because of its location beside the bulge in the bulkhead for the pollen filter, it is nearly impossible to access.

Any suggestion?

Hi, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
