Omega

Well it is listed as a 1.1 hour job to change, and I can't recall seeing any autos without a cooler since my 1300 Morris marina auto coupe. So yes it has a cooler, why do you ask?

Remember the oil cooler will usually be built into the engine water radiator. Look for extra pipes of a small bore, usually metal,going to and from the engine radiator. That will give you a clue.

-Many thanks-

If that's the case, you could always fit an auxiliary cooler for peace of mind. Is it others with Omegas that have had trouble or auto cars in general?

IMO there are better towcars than Omegas (I found mine dull to drive).

FWIW I've towed caravans of that sort of weight (Superstar, Senator, now a Hobby) with auto Toyotas and Mercs and never had any problems with auto box cooling (the last car that I had that problem with was a '79 Volvo!).

You need to keep the revs up so that the torque converter locks up, otherwise it's slipping all the time. I would guess that the modern electronics should sort that for you anyway.

I reckon I could find plenty of duller cars than a 2.5 Omega, and you don't really want exciting driving when you're towing a caravan anyway!

No, but you do solo!
