Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: TID Removal and replacing

« on: 27 May 2011, 15:18:40 »

Ok,
Removed the TID/MID did exactly as the guide suggested. Unfortunatly it seems to have had no little/a negative effect.

So where can i get another(yellow & Black plug) TID?

The repair was my intention, i just wanted to know if i could still use the car without any detrimental effects, or had to lay it up while i repaired it.

Thanks for your help

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / TID Removal and replacing

« on: 14 May 2011, 15:58:53 »

If i remove the TID from my dashboard, can i replace the clocks without the TID, and still use the car, without any detrimental effects(warning light etc)

The theory being i can then fix it at my leisure, and replace.

On a secondary note does anyone have, or know of where i can source a known good replacement? Early type(Yellow & Black plugs) i think?

Does anyone know if a Sony CDX GT300 can connect up to the TID on a 95 Omega. I assume if it does i need some sort of adapter?

My car has been retrofitted with HIDs by a previous owner and is a 95' so the manual is pre-HIDs, hence the question

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: 2.5TD (BMW) Chip

« on: 10 May 2011, 13:50:35 »

Thanks for the concern, but i was aware of the gearbox issue, hence i bought a Manual.

Ok, Next question,

What sort of gains should i expect?

Is there anything else i would need to change(The Volvo forums always advocated a stage 0 Service) or expect to break?

Hopefully this is a fairly simple question for yourselfs.

I am interested in Chiping my 2.5TD. My questions are,

Firstly is it worth it?

Secondly who or where do i go to get it done(electrics are not my forte!)? Any recommendations?

Thirdly What are the down sides?

And finally what will it cost?

Hope you can help me?

Ok 1379miles later it doesn't seem to be any worse?!

However as i tow a large car trailer i think a clutch might be in order.

Is there a specific part number for the 3.0 Clutch that fits or is it anyone for the 3.0?
