Omega General Help / Td oil leak from EGR valve

« on: 29 January 2010, 14:33:03 »

My 98 td elite has an oil leak from the hole on the egr valve.
I have removed it and cleaned it a couple of times now but after a couple of days the alternator is covered in oil again.
Any ideas why it would be blowing oil out or how to sort it.

Omega General Help / 2.5 td  Viscous fan.  Suck or Blow

« on: 08 July 2008, 13:53:57 »

Just had to replace the water pump twice due to a failed viscous coupling.  I separated the fan from the coupling and bought a new coupling from a scrappy. Now I can't remember if the fan blows onto the rad or sucks from the rad.   Help please.

I agree that is stupid. However I was actually raising the car to put the stands under it when it slipped.

I never go underneath without at least 1 stand there. Preferably 4 of them.

My Jack decided to fall apart as i was raising the car using the cross brace. Silly i know but its done now. The head of the jack hit the sump next to the sump plug, Snapped one of the fins next to it and cracked the sump.

Omega General Help / 2.5Td Sump problem

« on: 03 April 2008, 21:12:40 »

While I was attempting to change the selector switch on my 98 2.5td auto the car slipped off the jack and cracked the sump.

I've tried to remove it to see how bad the damage is but I cant get it to pull away from the autobox.  

I was wondering if there are any hidden bolts holding it in or if there is a particular way to remove it.

Thanks for any help.
