towcars hot Vauxhall Omega 2.5V6 auto

[Robert_5068837]

Bought 2.5 V6 Omega specifically for towing my Pagaent Moselle only to find the temp hitting the roof on normal roads put it on a gradient and the fan worked overtime. Any ideas to fix or alleviate the problem would be well received Bob

I read on a forum may have been this one, some one else had this problem and it was solved by having the radiator system flushed out, how old is the Omega ?

the beast is a P reg on a 97 plate, apart from running hot itm is one brilliant car, i have to fight to get the keys from the missus.

at that age it could well be that the cooling system needs flushing.
