2.2 CD ECU Woe's
« on: 01 December 2008, 10:40:41 »
Morning all,

 I am looking for some advice. The Omega has been in the garage for 5 weeks now

Quick History -
Car cut out on motorway, everything went, luckily I was in heavy traffic only doing about 5 mph, pulled over, it would not start, left for a couple of minutes and it fired up again, 2 minutes down the road same thing happened.
 Called AA and after a couple of hours messing about the car was put on a flat bed and took to the garage.
 They checked the codes which indicated it was either the crank or cam sensor. They ended up replacing both, still had the issue. They suspected wiring fault, but the electrical engineer confirmed the loom was ok and advised that the ECU may be faulty, so they removed the ECU and sent it off to have diagnostics done, The company who did this confirmed it was 100% OK, so they fitted again and the car would start at all!!. Suspecting the company had botched it they sent it back them, and again they confirmed nothing was wrong with it, so the garage sent it to the dealership who has condemned it saying it is completely screwed.
 They have quoted £1200 for a new one (Just for the part)
The 3rd party who did the checking are taking no responsibilty for this at all saying the part was fine when it left their shop. The garage (Who I have to admit have been very helpful throughout) have said they cannot find an after sales replacement part.
 
Can anyone suggest what I can do here? The garage has said if I can find the required parts they will be happy to fit them and have supplied me the parts numbers required,

ECU -
24426542 *
(These are the other numbers on the ECU)
S0100309
5WK9158
2061117251

Antenna pick up
24445098


Any help or advice here very welcome. If we have to bite the bullet and go through dealership we will be looking at the thick end of 2grand in total  , which would be a killer just before xmas and to be honest is probably more than the car is worth in the current market.

Looks like a Fuel Injector ECU to me.


Mark, I'll check with the garage.

Thanks Radar, the mechanic has tried a known working Throttle Body with no success.

Fantastic news, Are you happy to sell it? and if so how much?


The codes from the Main dealer were (hand written) -
P0120 - Throttle Position Sensor
P1550 - Throttle Control
P0700 - SCRIBBLE Gearbox SCRIBBLE
Advise Replace ECU and recheck throttle body

Mark, do you have the security code for the immobiliser?

For the above codes, TIS recommends a full re-program and rest.

Since the  EPU came back from having the diagnostics done the engine would turn over but not start. Could this simply be an issue with the immobiliser?

I cant tell you how unpleasant things will get for the garage and the dealership if turns out not to be the ECU. As I said its been 5 weeks so far, and the dealership wanted £1200 for a new ECU, which the vauxhall master technician insisted was the fault.
