Buckinghamshire.

Definitely seems like the HBV, as it doesn't loose coolant if the air con / heater is switched off. Have ordered new one, will try fitting it at the weekend.

Omega General Help / Omega Elite coolant system fault diagnosis

« on: 03 November 2007, 22:03:42 »

I've recently bought an Omega Elite 3.0. Great car, I love it to bits, and its LPG converted as well, hence affordable to run.

The only fly in my ointment right now is the fact that I have to fill up with coolant every week.

Before I take it to a garage so someone can say "its the head gasket mate, £1500", I'd like to try diagnosing the problem myself.

I can't see any obvious puddles of coolant under the radiator etc, so I'm fearing it might be an internal leak. However, there's no cross-contamination of oil and coolant, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the gasket.

Can anyone give me any advice as to how to best proceed?
