Title: INCREDIBLE FUEL CONSUPTION
Post by: arth on 27 October 2010, 11:32:47
Hi,

After one full tank and 700 km my car still can do 576 km more with 5 liters, just a picture of the MID/TID, the computer is perfect, my Omega with 365.000 km has decreased drastically the fuel consuption...

Here is the picture

I know what is happening, but this is just a riddle for the forum experts... ;D

Arth

P.D., the answer later...

Nop, it says 576, but I would not take the risk of going out without visiting the petrol station...  :)

My mid/tid was K.O, almost no pixels in good conditions, I bought a used one, very cheap, It was ok until we arrived to this menu, we investigate what was the problem,  and we found It came from a Kombi/Caravan, mine is Sedan, so you are advice,  the mid/tid are not compatibles.. :-[

This one is also loosing the pixels as you can see, I found a place where the repair it but it cost 120 euros!!! >:( >:(

Saloon/Estate makes no difference, its the engine/gearbox combo, and is reprogrammable with Tech2 (and possibly Tech1 if you are anywhere near Omegatoy).

At the Opel Service they were able to change it from German to Spanish but they tried twice to fix the distance problem with no result.

In any case I have found a specialist in Spain who can fix the pixels of any mid tid from Opel or from other cars.

Guessing they didn't have access or knowhow to change it.

If you give me your car age, engine and gearbox, I can talk you through the required options if reqd
