Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: battery cable
« on: 10 November 2015, 09:47:08 »Inside... Told you the route in one of my first replies.Thats where my 2nd battery is located
As for location, spare wheel well as per BMW/VXR8 would be ideal... As it needs to be between the chassis rails for crash protection. Obviously the Omega saloon spare wheel sits in the rear wing so that leaves middle of the boot, probably just behind the rear seat
I thought that was my 49

Also forgot to mention i found feeding a 0awg wire through the passenger side, behind glove box, kick plates and out near the spare tyre area. Was easier than the driver side, as that side was full of loom. But i put in another for audio needs HTH

Think snowflakes come with 235/35/19 rubber. Also agree with TB about any wider and there is a chance of rubbing, and any taller tires and defo it will touch the bottom of the front struts.
Know this from personal experience had some Totally Shit Wheels (Tsw 7.5j 19's from vectras and they sat too far in. HTH

« on: 07 November 2015, 14:49:51 »I would probably go with the unit that matches your car as the programming is more likely to be appropriate.Thanks Nick, appreciate the help

Lucky your not in the dilemma im in?
Big Al has a unit from a 3.2 auto but P/N are completely different.
fleabay has 1 unit the P/N match but its from a 2.6 (also listing states manual)
What would you say is the safer less headache route

« on: 07 November 2015, 13:44:08 »Nick when you changed the unit did you match the part numbers or just go withone thats from a similar vehicle?
and then bleed the system with Tech2 to open the valves
Why is the Tech2 necessary? When I changed my ECU/valveblock we bled the brakes normally.
Is the abs ecu not a simple plug & play?
I replaced the entire assembly as the fault codes related to the valve block, so had to bleed the brakes. If you just change the ECU then bleeding won't be necessary. Considering how bad the access is for a theoretically simple job, I would not attempt to change the ECU in place. But then we all have a different opinion of difficulty and what we will put up with.

As some might have noticed put up a wanted ad for abs ecu unit and got some response (phew).
Now the question is do i choose the unit that matches my engine/gearbox or choose the unit with the same part number?

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: WANTED - v6 ABS/ECU unit
« on: 06 November 2015, 18:36:21 »I dont mind, could collect from you. Only thing thats crossing my mind is how important is it for the part numbers to match? Or is it more important that it comes off from the same spec/engine vehicle which matters more. If someone can advise on this can go from there Al.Had a look at the unit and grabbed these numbers from it? 09 156 806/0265 220 455
So would these numbers be the same on the ecu stuck on the side (black bit), or would it be completely different?
These are the numbers on mine barcode label says Bosch & below that these numbers 288536 0 273 004 599
On the flat surface next to where the small plug goes in, moulded into the black plastic is 572 / 2 /1195677
Also on the front in the black plastic is PBT-GF -30 There is also a yellow sticker label that says WQ
If you want this urgently . . . I am working in Dagenham tomorrow from 7-30am until lunchtime . you could come & collect from me . Price ? £35Let me know ASAP
