Omega General Help / Re: new owner - oil cooler??

« on: 19 October 2007, 23:26:15 »

thanks  for the advice guys i will flush the system and remove the header tank i think i will need to spoon it out of there as to it using oil or water i am not sure as i have only had it for 3 days so i am unable to judge that i gave up being a mechanic over 6 years ago when everything started getting to complicated ie: diagnostics etc i was brought up old school when you were a mechanic not a fitter or technician
the last real job i did on a car was to change the engine on my frontara 2.4 a job i would not recomend to anyone !!
but it now looks like i have to get my tools out of retirment

but my burning question is did i get a good deal even with the faults?

« on: 19 October 2007, 21:34:47 »

i have just purchased an omega 2.5gls on a 1996 plate i have one or two issues i would like help with.
the first thing i noticed was a nasty smell in the car when i put the heater on its ok when heating not on but heh its starting to get cold out there so i'm gonna need it. the second thin is that i just had a look in the header tank and it is full of sludge dip stick is clear and oil filler cap clean !
it runns well doesn't miss a beat no smoke and very smooth it is in excellent condition in and out and only cost me £700
just wanted to know have i brought a heap of problems or is it a good deal
my last vauxhall was a frontera 2.4
the one before that was a 2.0 gsi cav but it was stolen and do i miss it
any help and advice would be much appreciated thanks
