Hi all, Well with winter fast approaching I have been testing my Omegas heater (and heated seats, which don't work !!) and found it to be very poor indeed.   To call it luke warm would be stetching the truth to the extreme. So is there any common faults and fixes I can look into doing??? I have searched but not come up with anything helpfull.

Many thanks, Jim.

have you checked both pipes to bulkhead to see if they are fairly evenly hot? if they are then it could be a blocked matrix.

No not yet, thanks for that I will have a look, is a blocked matrix common?

I have to say that the help from this site is superb    BUT. My experience with my car and the sheer amount of problems posted on here about the Omega in general is starting to make me wonder if I have bought a bit of a problem car.........sorry for the moan, just my 2p worth.

They need to be looked after if you want it all to work properly. Maybe a coolant flush would help improve things.

i dont think all that common but as AB says they have to be looked after, unless you got some history with your car who knows what its been through, you aint to far away from me so if you get stuck or want a hands on opinion i could  & have a squint at it but cant promise miracles but dont mind helping if i can

my heater was shit cos the arms popped off the servo, and the flaps woudn't open. I put them on a year ago and they are still there, fiddly job.
