Hi
    was suggested to do a paperclip test and to go on faq section to see how to do it but mine is a 2001 model and on the faq at the end how to do the test it says (After 1999 the chipsets were altered so it was no longer possible to flash the codes out this way. ) is there another way ?
thanks

You can paperclip a 2.0L  
Its the later 2.2 you carnt  

Yup, you can paperclip all 2.0/2.5/3.0 petrol Omegas

Although being a 2001, I'd be surprised if it was a 2.0l....

You need to ask yourself.... why did they only spot this AFTER reading the codes...

If it was in limp mode, the first thing they should check is that everything is home !!
