Hi Spencer, wondered if you could help me with a problem i have with my car..
it`s a 1998 S registration Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 Estate, i love this car but i have a HORRIBLE wharbling sound coming from the exhaust when i accelerate, i have had the REAR Box replaced by a local mechanic, and it`s still doing it! there is NO loss of power or anything, just a horrible wharbling, (sounds like theres a hole in the exhaust, but there`s not, that type of a sound) could it be the Catalytic convertors ? i hope not as i have been quoted over £700 for replacements :-)

cheers mate

It is difficult to say, but when the cats go its normally more of a rasp. Try having the emissions checked. The V6 can be prone to cracking exhaust manifolds, but this normally ounds like a blow. Have the lambda reading checked when the emmisions are done as this wil be high if there is an exhaust leak.

Hello,

I think this has been asked before, but I cannot find an answer in the forum.

I own a 1998 CDX, V6. Does anyone know where the outside temperature sensors are and what they look like? Display is showing a fixed reading of 16.5 and suspect sensor(s) (there are two apparently) are playing up

Spencer,

My 1994 2.5 CDX Auto Est needed topping up of coolant last week. The inside of the radiator cap was 'caked'in a beige moose substance. After 150 motorway miles it needed topping up again. No obvious leaks as far as I can see and the oil on the dip stick looks nice and clear brown.
Any ideas.

could be a faulty hot start valve (could be the same thing you are referring too) this enrichens the mixture on hot start up.
