coolant loss????

[Arrolman]

Hi all,

I picked my 1997 2.5 CD Omega up on Fri but didn't use it over the weekend due too work, only been using it daily since Mon and im having to top up my coolant header every 100 miles, no visible signs of leaks. It may be the valve as stated in this post, but how do you access it? That engine looks like its showing you it on the back which isn't accesible from under the hood

Daft question?!?

Cheers,
Iain

Hi Ian and welcome to the forum

Try this http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152710108

This should give you a bit more room at the rear of the engine

Excellent,

Will give it a go when the rain goes off.

Is it contagious?  Whenever I read of a new problem on here my Megga catches it  

Just checked my coolant level and its about half an inch below min    No oil on top of water and both dipstick and filler cap are clear.  I'll check for leaks at the weekend.  :-/
