Omega 2.5 oil coolers

Yup common as f*ck, my Dad's had 2 now on his 3.0 MV6, make sure they change it for the stainless one I think, what happens is the oil cooler is such s*it design the oil eats away at the channels allowing oil to mix with the water, it wont hurt the car too much as its only 1 way, ie oil in with water, not water in with oil, but if you open your header tank, it will look like someone's poured a catering size jar of Hellmans into it.

They are a bastard to get to on the 3.0, cost was around 300 quid, inc labour.

HTH

Cheers Ron! I've just phoned my local Vauxhall dealer and he quotes £500. I'd consider doing the job myself but I've still got a £300 warranty on the car as I only bought it a couple of months ago.

If it goes again I'm considering bypassing the thing, although I wonder if that will cause problems with overheating in the summer.

Quin.
