Newbie Welcome Area / Re: Omega using too much water
« on: 07 December 2007, 20:14:31 »
Dear All , thankyou for your kind offers of advice on my Omega's water problems , but how does one go about spoting where the water is coming from ? I've left her running and watched her from above and below , but not a drop have I spotted !

Perhaps it might be a leaking pump , or the water is comming out of a hose under pressure , while the car is driving ,  and there is no damp in the front footwells , so no joy there.

May I say how amazed I was to find such a good a site for Omega's , a much unsung car , I think they are one of the best of the big Vauxhalls , and elegant to look at , as well as very comfortable and bloody fast.

So any more info or idea's as to why she's wetting herself  , please let me know.        What a nice bunch of guys you are !        Regards , Jeep Jockey.

Newbie Welcome Area / Omega using too much water

I have a 2.5 2001 Omega auto , it's a lovely car , and is in nice condition with a 120,000 on the clock but the only problem is that she has started you use more water , I have to top it up by about a pint a month.

I've had a sniff at the water header tank , fine , no water showing on the dipstick , but I do get mayo on the oil filler cap on short runs , on longer runs everything is clean and clear.

If it's the heads that are blown , then it's not worth the repair , and she will be scrapped , which would be a shame as she drives so well , but £2,500 for new heads would not be thought of as a viable option.

Anyone got any ideas ?       Jeep Jockey.
