Omega General Help / Re: Another water leak?

« on: 03 July 2009, 08:29:26 »

Picked up the car yesterday, garage confirmed it was the HBV said they found the printed details from this site very useful. Charged me 2 hours labour + part  cost me just over £100. I'm happy got the 'rocket ship' back, saves me driving to Goodwood in the 'Tractor'. Thanks to all on 'oof' for advise and offers of help.

Thanks for all the comments, this garage also thought the manifolds etc. have to come off. I have printed off the details on how to access the HBV via the scuttle and put it through the door last night, so lets see what happens today. Thanks for the offer Chris, I'll see what they say today.

Cheers
Peter

If you have to explain where to look do you really feel confident in letting them work on your car? :-?[/quote]

Yes I know what you're saying, but I have used this garage for many years and had excellent sevice from them on my other Omega's (tractors). Today they seemed very busy and under pressure so perhaps have not had time to diagnose properly. I'll call in tonight after work.

Hi Lizzie,

Yes I told them to check that first, but perhaps they're unsure how to get at it, I'll call in tonight to explain, thanks for the links.

Omega General Help / Another water leak?

« on: 29 June 2009, 15:39:53 »

Hi all,
I 've been surfing thro' all the topics on water leaks. My 3.2 Elite seems to have the usual symptoms, loosing coolant at back of engine, local garage seems to have problems locating where the coolant is coming from, and says they will have to strip out this, that, and the other to find it. Any obvious points to start with so I can point them in the right direction would be appreciated. Told them to hold fire for now.

Cheers
Peter.

Omega General Help / Re: 2.5TD - what MPG you getting?

« on: 30 June 2009, 22:34:05 »

My 96 CDX auto estate with 203,000miles on the clock does approx 29 around town 34-35 on a run, the 2000 Elite auto estate with 130,000 miles only manages 27 around town and 31-33 on a run and does not feel as lively as the old CDX, Apart from what appears to be a slight weep from the leak off pipe I can't explain the difference. I've always been a bit disappointed with the economy and performance of the later Elite which has had regular servicing and seems to run sweetly except at a standstill in traffic, when I get an annoying vibration at tick-over. One day if I ever get time I might get the injectors checked
