Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox ECU gone

« on: 11 July 2009, 14:41:12 »

Sport light isn't on.  The car has been playing up for ages when driving along you could hear it going thru the gears but sometimes when it tried to go to 3rd the revs would increase then the automatic gearbox alert would come up on the dash, this could happen several times in a journey or not at all.  It would then be stuck in 3rd and the car would have to be switched off and then restarted for the gearbox to right itself.  Vauxhall have diagnosed it and say that the ECU has gone into default mode hence the reason for a new ECU.

Omega General Help / Gearbox ECU gone

« on: 11 July 2009, 11:25:37 »

Hi,
My Omega is stuck in 4th gear and the Vauxhall garage say that the ECU has gone and quoted me £998 to fix it.  It is a 'S' reg but I dont have that amount of money to fix it so I am wondering about finding a second hand ECU.  Does anyone know where I could get one and also I've heard that it has to be decoded.  Is it going to be worth fixing or do I scrap it?
Thanks
