Because we are running out of avenues to explore and the ABS ecu shares its connection to the engine ecu with the autobox ecu.
With the engine ecu configured for auto, do you still get the drop out of VSS signal?

The ABS ecu can cause some very funny problems when incorrectly / nor programmed.  They need to know engine size and gearbox type.

Looking forward to getting back to Blighty and getting it sorted, but the old girl has done me proud so far. Over 1000 miles today on the auto ecu and not a whimper. Currently in Poland heading for mountains. Was nasty accident in Dresden where the coolant level warning came on, but that was just a gummed up sensor from the oil coolers fail last month! Its been living up to it's autobahn storming name that's for sure!

Right, well £500 in fuel lighter, I'm looking to get to the bottom of this. The omega will become the second car about March instead of the newest thing I own with a new thing on the way. But despite obvious advantages of MPG etc we have decided that Kat's MK4 astra will be going on to pastures new instead.

I'm hoping that sorting this out might give me a couple more mpg though. With winter stickies on she averaged 26mpg over 2000 miles of motorway! That's the same I get around the lanes pretty much. Didn't miss a beat the whole way mind. Bar a heart in mouth moment when the coolant level warning came on during a 4 car pileup endued traffic jam near dresden when sat in stationary traffic. A quick check prooved it was just gunk from the previous oil cooler problem still in the system bunging it up!
