Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: ECU information
« on: 06 January 2016, 14:37:51 »Not sure why you need this info ?? Your ears (engine note), and eyes (on the rpm gauge), combined with the speed you are travelling will always give enough information to "know" what gear you are in
If you need a "light" to tell you then you are not "driving" your car .. you are "aiming" it IMHO .. in which case the "knowledge" of which gear you are in is superfluous anyway.
Well yes thanks for taking that up
My dad wanted the indicator to my racing car because as he drives it he doesn't know which gear his into
And so as we made the indicator to the racing car we thought why not to my dads' Vectra 2.6 just for fun And we are both electricians so we always come up with crazy electric ideas
This is like a challenge for us and trying new things

« on: 06 January 2016, 13:09:52 »I've pondered this for a while and the only practical means of determining what gear you're in on a dash-mounted system I've come across is to mount LEDs, taking the wiring from the drive tunnel-mounted gear indicator panel and sticking a row of them in the dash binnacle, somewhere. Alternative idea I had a while back was to convert a Senny Digital dash (which has gear indicator lights, too) presumably you could fit the whole binnacle, or just take the gear lever indicator element from it.
Okay, I've done this Gear Indicator thing to my racing car which has motorcycle engine and gearbox. I just bought one segment led screen like this-->
And then just wired it up so I get which gear is on to the screen 1,N,2,3,4,5.... as an N I use -
So I could to this with wiring from gear indicator panel to get P,R,N,D,3,2,1....
But I want it to show the specific gear when on D and that information you can't get from the gear indicator panel, Right?

Unfortunately on a 1999 car, the TCM, a GS8.20, uses a proprietary protocol, so not going to be easy to read out of the ECU. Probably easiest way is to monitor signals going into box itself, and use software to work out intended gear.
Does it change from pfl to fl to different? Or variates many times between models?
The OBD reader reads ECU, right?
So you mean by going into box that I need to read the data from the OBD?

« on: 06 January 2016, 08:36:48 »The green charging lead in the bumper is it for a prewarmer or something else?
Yes, at the moment I have this radiant heater, it warms the oilsump.
I'm planning on going to this tube heater that warms up cooling water
And also I have interior heater.

This is like my dream project really It's so nice follow up what you do and see some new things that I thought couldn't be possible. Absolutely nice everything
It's the thing that you do for yourself and it comes up just as you want, that is so nice feeling when you do that and that's why I do it myself too

« on: 05 January 2016, 17:37:45 »Ended up buying from originals from the GM desk, 215euros.The compressors are quite noisy... Think tyre pump bolted to the chassis noisy. Personally I would be more concerned if you can't hear it, especially if it is working as expected
Working gooood, but the compressor started to make noise again :/
-Mika
Well yes that's true but I mean it's making this sound that is like a horn of a car and non-stop untill it stops so about 15-20 seconds
I think it's this "bearing" on the photo. Or then just the piston. But after cleanup and good crease it was good for about 4months. Does anyone know where I could get that kind of bearing or whatever it is?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / ECU information
« on: 05 January 2016, 15:17:43 »
Hello, I've been thinking this long and wanted to ask if anyone has tried or done this.
Is it possible for get the information about which gear you have to the information screen (TID, MID...)
What about battery voltage?
OR do you need somekind of external unit showing the info?
And does anyone have like specific wiring diagrams from the ECU or could it be possible to get the infos from the OBD plug?
Any info would help
-Mika

Hellou OOF I have survived from the christmas and new year pretty good Have you? Very very happy new year to all
I could almost say that it was late autumn when I bought my christmas present for myself WHeeeeeels
Cheap but still good condition. Had some tarnish in the inside but i fixed them up
Just bought and washed them.
Finished product and starting point
Sanding, polishing and painting....
Ready!
Then I finally got the new shock absorders I don't know why I don't have any photos of the new ones..... but younou they were shiny 
The old ones :/ Nuts cut broken at the very first opening try Soooo rusty everywhere....
Due to mistake at the local shop I had to refresh the old washers and those 2 spacers. Otherwise I would been sitting without work for a week.... They came up pretty good
Winter came up good so decided to change tyres
Then I had this extra water pump for the cabin....
Actually the story is kinda funny because at first there was no problem but eventually did a nice easy job on -15*celsius.... it was freezing cold.... Anyway as I was just looking up my car... like just hanging out with her because it was cold And noticed a small spot under front bumper.. looked under and up but nothing anywhere and as I was searching for leak I ended up measuring the voltages of the extra water pumps one at the front radiator and the other pushing water to the cabin. The radiator one I didn't get how it works... but then the cabin one as I measured the voltage with ignition ON there was a 12.4 but the pump didn't work... so to the garage and remembered that the old omega didn't have the extra pump and I had bought some cheap pump earlier Changed the pump and there was a shivering sound again It was a very easy job but when needed to do some things without gloves it wasn't fun And good things also there haven't been leaks after that
So this is the old pump. As you can see form pictures it has a worn out (charcoal).
Thanks

Nice cars!
Oh someone had let the oil burn well
I would recommend to check if the fuses are right size
If they are, what they are for? I'm just wondering if you use a lot seat heater or other big system that takes a lot current... lots of current can make things get hot in long use.
But still very unusual thing to happen....
