Omega General Help / Tcm
« on: 18 February 2020, 18:23:12 »
Tranmission control module is it located behind drovers kickpanel?? As i pulled a small module out but doesnt seem like a ecu (on car im breaking)
Also ive heard 3.0 tcms are better whats the reson behind this is it software.
Guessing you cant fit a 3.0 tcm to a 3.2 omega

3.2 2003 mv6
Had oil in well so replaced rocker cover and gasket. Installed 6 new plugs. All bolts torqued to manual specs.
I also replaced all intake seals on lower and middle plenum
Also replaced the vac lines with brand new genuine vaixhall vac pipe.
Car runs ace now smoother idle pick up better.
But every now again spanner loght comes on. Then goes of on own with in a few mins
Checked with obd scanner no codes. Done pedal trick no codes
Anyone any guesses

Front wishbone std at minite will be powerflex bushes
I have fitted whiteline rear beam bushes. These also have larger spacer on top to stop movement vertically.Where did the front wishbone bushes come from, were they Whiteline too? If so do you have a part number?
Yes anything stiffer than stock will eventually have the potential to crack things.
I have fitted these poly doughnuts.
Only other poly will be front wishbone bush.
Thats it

Once again WIM is too far will not be going there.
And i stated 1 degree of camber. (Didnt put negative as it a given you would never run postive camber haha )

Think im gonna start with what ive found
Rear doughnuts loads of play so replacing them with poly i have them already.
Gonna rebuild my wishbones with new rear bushes and powerflex front.
Top mount have been insoected and there seems to be some gap between them and towers. Am asaumjng there shidnt be so may go for uprated top mounts.
Ill sey camber at 1 degree each fromt wheel and retrack myself. (So i can drive it to the wheel alignment and ball joint center for 4 wheel geometry on hunter system.
May even throw in a cheeky PAS fluid change aswell
Question does anyone ever swap out trailing arm bushes. As it common upgrade on monaros

So now because you didnt like what i say you not gonna be of any help.
I even asked a question in last post.
I got asked to check wishbones rear bushes
I have done... no comment??
Ive checked tyres theyre all fine no comment?
Mentioned i had found what i believe to be play in rear beam bishes but unsure if it excessive no comment on that.
Things get posted on here because people asking for help ive done nothing any different. You went off on one being funny saying crack on and saying apparently i know.more than collective people.
Never have i mentioned that i do or made out like that.
I know my camber excessive on front but got no tyre wear or pulling or wheel of centre issue so cant see how it giving me my cornering problems unless it it thats all. Im nit sure ??
How can poeple learn or find out things if people dont help. No good being abrupt or jist dismissing what others say thay not helpfuk in slightest

Didnt say i know better and as usual you are not reading post.
Just state
i have had no tyre wear issues what so ever .. tyres wear fine. And car drive straight and true.
Car will be 4 wheel aligned when it is ready to.
Once back end has bushes and springs swapped etc...
Not gonna pay 100 plus pound for 4 wheel alignment for i in 4 weeks maybe 6 weeks have to go back and pay again because i swapped somerhing around.
Be mad to. Especially when it is fine as it (for now.)
No tyre wear all even and wearing well..
This post was not about geometry it was about a issue with something moving(or seems to be movig) and as per usual things go of on tangent on forum
Did you read what i said i chdcked and habe any advice on that stuff ?? Do you feel the eccessive camber could be causing it or maybe playing it part in the issue
I know the issues with omega and geomtry issue. Thrust angle needs to be 0 front camber down to around 1.1 to 1.3 negative camber at front
Rear camber ends up whatever as long as toe and thrust angle right..
And it will be once it ready to be done.
I would never replace tyres every couple of thousand miles. As said again and again mine is fine onntyres wears really well
Also before some jumps.out and tells me to go WIM for alignment dont. Jesus it the only place that ever gets mentioned on here. It may be the best for it and id say ot is by sounds of it. But for most people it miles away and of no use.
I have to use the wheel alignment and ball joint centre in liverpool as even thats 35mins away.
Just state
Geometry advice given here is based on millions of miles of collective Omega experience.d
Having personally been down the road of replacing the front tyres every thousand miles trying to get to the bottom of geometry issues, I am only trying to spare you, and other newish Omega owners from suffering similar.
But hey, if you know better than all the collective knowledge here, crack on... We will say we told you so

Unfottunetely the stickers were no longer on mine so wouldnt have known.

AH is the front sensor, and BG is rearmost.
You could just check the ones fitted and replace with the same.
I'm certain (although its a while since I changed one) that the plugs will be different to avoid incorrect fitment.
And yes it does matter which sensor goes where, as their function is different - GM wouldn't have had two different sensors if it didn't matter!!

Told what it need to he right.. no shit.
It been tracked twice different places. Both time it comes out and it drives straight no pulling wheel cenrral and its fi e.
Im not paying for a 4 wheel alignment till all work is finished as removing arms swapping bushes etc require it being redone.
So tracking is fine at moment as rear has never been touched.
But as just stated notice camber for to excessive so going to reset camber myself and then get retracked also.
Even with 2 degree camber had no tyre wear issues

Big update this morning...
Cheera for help guy following has been found.
All tyres are fine ... wearing pretty much even accross whole tread front and back.
Wishbone horizontal bushes no play
Wishbone verticle bushes no play
Front wheels checked 9 and 3 no movement
Front wheels checked 12 and 6. Very slight movement??
Checked front steering arms left and right.
Driver no play good solid movement
Passenger can be moved very easily as if worn. (Annoying as swapped them both less than year ago.
Rear end removed diff mount one by one.
Both only droppes arouns 8 to 10 mm
Didnt fall off.. pulled and wigled them they seem solid with next to now cracks in them so bolted back up.
Rear beam doughnuts. Lots of verticle movement. Can hear the beam moving as i leavered it with large screwdrover. Both sides the same.
Compared to another omega o had in for breaking with 80k on it and the movement was a lot more.
So only things ive found up to now if beam doughnut bushes.
And one steering arm.
I have however found although car sdives straight and true and been tracked the front camber is -2degree
So i need to reset to around -1.1degree to -1.3degree
