Omega General Help / fault codes

« on: 13 July 2008, 12:37:09 »

Hi,
everyone can anybody shed some light on the fault code 135 on the motronic ecu ive got a 2.5v6 1997 and on looking at the code from the great lists that someone has produced it says check engine lamp (fault code lamp) low voltage

not quite sure what that means . At the moment i have a problem eith a knock sensor,the  wiring is a biot fraid so at the moment it rgeisters a fault with the eml light staying on would this be related to the code 135

many thanks for any help

Omega General Help / ecu ?key programming

« on: 17 September 2006, 12:49:33 »

Right gents this is a big one
the omega i was given by my friend he had lost the keys so i went to vauxhall and got a replacement so i could get in thye car and move it to my gaff. The ecu was knackered thats why he left, ive replaced that but ive been told that i need to get the key reprogrammed in order for the car to start however the key i have has no transponder in it vauxhall have said i must bring the car to them so they can programme it   obviously at a right cost do they fit a transponder in it or can i get a mobile mechanic,locksmith to sort it out any ideas

thanks marc
