Title: Oil cooler problem?
Post by: Gaffers on 07 October 2009, 20:28:00

I am looking at purchasing an omega which is claimed is a HG problem.  I asked why he thought that and he replied:

HI.
The mileage is 116177.aand there is oil in the water and it overheats and blows water from the headder tank.
Regards.

Would oil cooler cause water to blow like that?  I think it might but the experts will surely put me right :y

Yep, oil is being forced into the cooling system causing it to overflow ;)

As he said ^^

And the overheating probably caused by completely gunged up water ways in both the engine - easily flushable - and the radiator - not so easy - lots of low foam detergent or take the rad off and Fernox it .. :(

Was thinking about this one. About 6 miles from me. FYI it`s a mini-facelift (steering wheel controls) but no leather

Could it be the oil cooler?

If it was it would be easier and cheaper,
