Omega General Help / Parked Miggy

« on: 06 June 2010, 14:21:14 »

Anyone know a way to get my auto car out of the parked position. I need to move the car just to the end of the drive. I have had to remove the battery plus various connections, whilst removing the ABS ecu and I don't want to reconnect all the electrics.

Also is there an easy way to remove the hand brake lever as I need to fit an new button to it?

I dont, I recommend these guys, a little cheaper and I find their service better.....(although BBA are not bad I have now had 2 minor issues with them)

They repair your unit so no programming etc is required

Cheers . I'll give both companies a ring in the morning. Obviously the cheaper the better but more important is a fast turn around. Plus I don't want to re programme. The car has been off the road for a couple of months re the ECU but now I need to get it back on the road. The reason is a change of job which is a 100 mile round trip!

BBA reman is the place you need...remove yours and send it to them..they will give you a call in a day or so from receipt with a yes/no as to if repairable and with a fixed price..pay your money and it will be back with a years warranty in a further few days.Good service and expect cost of approx £130..atleast you then know it is the correct model for your car.
I along with numerous other members have used them and come highly recommended.

Cheers If you and Pete recommend it then thats where its going. Cheers again

Guy's
If I obtained an ABS ecu off a face lift diesel Miggy can it be reprogrammed to go on to a F/L petrol Miggy? :-/

I would advise against BBA following a recent issue with an ecu that they repaired (came back worse than when it went and they were not overly interested)......and you can get it done cheaper than them

A recommendation of some one you have used would be great

Anyone live near the Wirral that can help me on a couple of problems.
(1)
I have Fld Vision coming up on he display, I have checked the arms on the sensors they are OK and still connected I also lubricated the swivel arms as one was a bit tight.
(2)
Abs and Traction control lights are on and have lost the speedo. I have cleaned the rear ABS sensors as best I could using white spirit on the faces.
Do you think I need to remove them and do a better job and are there ABS sensors on the front wheels?

Finally  maybe if someone who is local ish to me and has got tech 2 could help me determine if sensors are giving out correct signals etc.
 Please PM me  if you can help.
 The miggy is of the road until I can isolate the main problems, re MOT

Had this on the Estate (has passed 2 mots like that) - will be either the sensors on nearside front and rear or levelling motors back of each headlight OR as I discovered today a broken wire from front sensor!!  Touch wood that seems fixed now - no fault codes either.

There are abs sensors on front wheels.
Agree with others knackered abs ecu mate 

I think the car will pass MOT with the head lights as they don't seem to low.

Will check the ABS sensors on the front tommorrow.
I think the speedo is run off the rear inside ABS sensor I will check that a again at the same time.

Give them a ring .. number top right ...  very helpful.

I sent mine on the Monday (courier), got a phone call Wednesday with the "test" result and price to mend, recieved it back Friday (courier).

Fitted Saturday ... so less than a week which I think is pretty good

Jimbob hopefully is going to confirm that the Ecu is u/s
Then I will feel beter sending the ecu away for repair.
Thanks for the link

item (2) is ...  99.9%  ... ABS ECU ... several threads posts on that about ...

bba-reman can probably repair your existing for around £130 odd ... its just a pig to change .. in awkwardness not skill !! ... so empty the swearbox, send the kids away .. and get stuck in !!  car is driveable with no ABS ECU .. just steering is heavy and .. no ABS, TC or speedo.

bba-reman turn them around within a week IME

HTH

Still grasping at that 0.1% Its just to much of coincidence to lose the ABS and level sensors at the same time. 
Do you have a link to BBA-Reman

No probs, that did cross my mind....although technically you are taking it to 'The omega man' (well thats what my vauxhall trade card says) for electronic diagnostics.  Bit tenuous I know 

Jimbob, could you PM me where you are based when in Chester contact details etc, I may be able to sort something out ie trade plates,towing or what ever!
