Omega General Help / Re: 2.5TD Mig

« on: 27 June 2010, 14:53:33 »

Hi All

My 1998 2.5D auto has similar figures to above.
Last April however I went on my annual pilgrmage to Teignmouth in Devon

Filled up before leaving home (South Wales). Reset the computer to zero. Once clear of the busy M4 around Newport, which had a 50 limit, I set the cruise control to 60mph and more or less did that speed all the way down untill I left the A38.
Achieved a fuel consumption of over 50 to the gallon.
Did same on way home. Fuel consumption for complete trip just over 52 to the gallon. Believe my computer to be accurate as it corresponds to fill to the brim type calculations.

Hi All

Is the method the same for a 1998 cdx diesel Omega.

Need to centre the wheel by 20 degrees or so.

No, the broken bits of imellor tend to find a place in there to live out their life. Often possible to get some bits out by reverse flushing it with pump and stat out.[/quote]

Omega General Help / Re: Coolant temprature 2.5 diesel

Thank you all.

The photograph in the FAQ section shows a temprature gauge in exactly the position mine shows when running.

When I removed the water pump the impeller was virtually in bits. Did not have enough pieces to say I had the whole lot.

Does the plastic wear away or indeeed melt over the years?

Omega General Help / Coolant temprature 2.5 diesel

« on: 02 March 2010, 19:57:56 »

Hi All
Sorry if this has been covered before but I seem to have lost the search facility.

Firstly may I thank everyone who has posted "how to" guides, they really are invaluable.

Using the advice here I have cured my overheating 2.5 diesel by changing the thermostat and water pump. The plastic impeller really was in a bad way.

The car is running well but I am a little concerned about the coolant temprature showing on the gauge.
It reads just over or just under the 95 mark. Is this where it should be or have I stilll got a problem.

Thanks in anticipation
