there is a maintenance guide on cleaning breathers - give it to your chosen garage :y

I keep seeing this problem coming up on this forum. My '99 3.0 had this problem, and a few weeks ago I took it to a local Vx dealer.

They said it was either breathers or warped rocker covers. The breathers turned out to be fine, so they replaced both rocker covers and this has cured the problem completely. It cost me £382, which was less than I expected. (The rocker covers are £81 each).

Good morning fellow Omega brothers!!

Well the cars in on tues at the VX dealer who has quoted me £296.73 for the cam cover gaskets, new plugs and labour which I think is fairly reasonable!!. Hopefully this will cease the problem!!!.
Just a quick question... Do the 2.5 V6's run fairly hot?? It's just mine seems fairly warm and the fans come on rather frequent. The coolant is fine and it only goes just above 90 on the gauge.
Don't think theres a prob just curious!!.
Cheerio for now!!

Chocks away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
