Title: base vacum system to electronic climate control
Post by: drefts on 02 March 2009, 21:02:26

hi. new here. :-)
i have a opel omega b1 2.5td CD 1995.mod with base vacum heat control.
i wonder if i could put in a electronic climate control in stead.
do i have the right electric connectors, is it just the panel and servo's i need?
 sorry for my english. norwegian user here.  ;) :y

Nothing is impossible.  But converting to climate is pretty close to impossible!

Would be a big, big, big, BIG job.  I would doubt anyone has ever attempted it.

Seen it done on a Vectra B (The CDX model has single zone climate). It entails removing more than just the panel as the whole system control is via motors / actuators on various parts of the air blower system and obviously a different loom.

what about TC traction control. can i mount that?
see in electric diagram i only need 3 wires from the switch.
But is the connector on my abs pump the same on abs pump with traction control?

TC not available.  To be honest, it doesn't need it, unless its chipped...

Not tried myself, but not sure the engine ECU has the capability, certainly it appears the wiring is missing.  Not sure if its a different ABS ECU, or if its just programming on the ABS ECU
