RIGHT NOW IM GETTING REALY P>>>ED OFF WITH THE CAR!!! Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
i loved my old omega but this new one is realy starting to test my love for the omega!
right as u all no ive done the hg,but seem to have a majour prob with a air lock or something,heres what ive been doing today
1. ive flushed the coolant six times!!! no more or the old blue coolant,ensured 3 times only clear water came back out! ran it each time antill the fan cut in (to ensure the thermostate had opened and the water in the block was moving throw,also had the fans on full) so now i have lovely clean 50/50 orange coolant in the system:-)
BUT STILL NO F.........g heating!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had changed the hbv but i must admit it was a cheap one from ebay Sad ,maybe thats no good??? to put my mind at rest could i just take the hbv out for now and just run the pipe from the back of the engine and run it straight to the inlet of the heater??? surly that would give me heat?and at same time prove if or not that the hbv is either working or not?
also Sad the temp gauge!!!! not sure how to test but i think thats got problems!!!! keeps showing engine is very hot !!! sometimes when all the pipes/rad etc are only luke warm!!! BUT then when you press the brake pedal it drops down to where u would think it should be,the fan kicks in around 90ish when the gauge seems to be working fine but when it just shoots up when the pipes are still cool it does not!!!!
seeing it drops again when the brakes are pressed could it be a EARTH PROBLEM?
would this course this???would i be best to change the sensor?(i assume the gauge is the open at back of the block with only one conector on it?)
also comes up with error code saying running lean! now i no the front pipe is leaking where it meets the manifold and also where the pipe conects to the next pipe ,seeing theres 2 cats in that section ,if theres a leak could that caurse the ecu to think its running lean?

cheers for everyones help with this,im so close but so far
