Omega General Help / Water gauge/temperature - 2.5cc V6
« on: 03 July 2008, 11:04:26 »
Hi,
I have recently purchased an R reg 2.5 V6 (reflection). I've had the car serviced by an independent local mechanic who also informed me that the car is in top condition.
My only concern, which may be a bit of historical motoring paranoia, concerns the water gauge. Sitting in traffic the temperature can reach 100 on the gauge, then drops just above 90, then after a while back up to 100. The journeys are your typical home-to-station types. I've monitored the water coolant overflow, which shows no sign of water being lost? However, the water in the overflow is a very slight brown.
As for the display, I've only had one 'check water coolant' but this was displayed for a brief moment.
The cars done about 87k.
Can someone give me some advice? Unfortunately, I know nothing about cars and currently nervous about driving the car.
Cheers
