Omega General Help / Steaming up window!
« on: 04 November 2013, 21:00:55 »
Hey people, silly thing really.... now that its getting colder I put the heating on in the omega (only on to 17) but the windows steamed up really quickly. I had to put the settings on to 'lo' I'm guessing this is the air con even though I dont have a 'AC' button? Am I right in thinking that it could be a warn pollen/cabin filter? The previous owner used to keep it parked under a tree alot.

Omega General Help / Re: Damn ABS ECU!
« on: 30 October 2013, 19:11:24 »I have always used ecutesting, and have no complaints. There is a much simpler way of changing the ECU than described in the guide. Malc p taught me it. I have used it several times.
Basically you remove the power steering reservoir and the battery, unclip the ABS pipes form the bulkhead, loosen the outside ABS mounting bolt, remove the inside bolt, free it from the heatshield, tilt up the ABS/ECU assembly to reveal all six screws holding ECU to ABS body, and undo them.
If you want more details, let me know.
Hi thanks for the info! If you could pm me with the details it would be greatly received

I've ordered the part so fingers crossed I wont struggle to much when fitting it lol. Do you think it would be worth sending the old unit of to be re built as a back up?

The abs light is on and no speedo function. Plugged it into diagnostic and it couldn't read the abs ecu so been told its the ecu.

Hey guys, long story short the abs ecu has gone on my '01 73k mile 2.2 petrol estate 
. After weighing it all up it seems that it would be cheaper to scrap the car and get a new one, as my mechanical skill is minimum to take the ecu out and re install. I've heard this problem only effects certain engines and years is this true? I want to get another Omega but a v6. Am I likely to run into the same issue with a v6?
