Title: speedo
Post by: CLP123 on 12 February 2008, 16:27:43

hi all

I am a newbie here i recently got myself a 1998 omega 2.5 v6 CDX

the speedo has stopped working the abs and tc lights have come on
and i have noticed that the steering has gone heavy? is this a big problem or something small
because i was enjoying driving the old girl!

Hope you can help :-/

Classic case of ABS ECU problem ... :(

I had mine repaired by BBA Reman  ...  Tel : 01634 230055 and they did an excellent job.

There is also a "how to" on removal/fitting :

If you have your present one repaired/refurbished then there is no need for Tech2 resetting .. but new/scrappy ones will need the Tech2 bit ....

HTH

Agree, I'm guessing your car is 1998 or later. Not uncommon problem.

ABS ECU kaput!!
Had the same problem - used a 2nd hand ecu - from same car, year & model - see http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1194380670/6#6

Absolute pig to fit - only need to remove top hose, move fuse box towards front and then patience + right tools!!
Even managed to refit 5 out of 6 screws - bottom right (looking from front) is an rsol to remove & even worse to refit so left it out.
Car OK since done - all working ok.
Hope this helps - if u need any info PM me.
