General Car Chat / Vectra b question

« on: 17 October 2025, 22:50:07 »

Hi guys, I bought a Vectra b as first car for my daughter. I still have some time to fix some minor issues, nothing major. I'd really like to remove all the carpets to check for any rust under, bit in order to do so, I need to remove front seats equiped with side airbags.
Will the airbag light turn on if I disconnect the battery while removing and reinstalling the seats?
Thanks in advance, Stan

Replaced both lower suspension arms and problem is fixed. Rear right side bush was badly torn and alowed movement when braking, as jb said. Geometry setup done again, I took poly bushes out of old parts and I'll leave it for some time in future.
Thanks for help

So the best option would be to go to mechanic or MOT place, whoever has the rollers where I could see braking force on wheels probably.

Omega General Help / Pulling when braking

« on: 13 September 2025, 10:51:51 »

Hi guys, I had a 'little" misshap last year...I hit a concrete barrier with front right side. The wheel got also hit and from then on car pulls to the right when braking. I did full geometry setup twice, replaced bushings preventively, suspension has no play anywhere. Drives straight and doesn't wonder on the road, no shaking, no wobble whatsoever.
I'm puzzled, what else should I look into? Should I replace front brake calipers in case right one is sticking or grabbing force is different?
Thanks in advance, Stan

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 3.0 V6 ECU pinout

« on: 14 January 2025, 15:40:39 »

Hi guys, does anyone have an ECU  pinout for 3.0 V6? I'd like to find a wire/s that go from immobilizer unit around the keyfob to ecu. I think that I may have damaged that wire in process of replacing ABS ECU...
I might be also shooting blanks now but I'd like to check this first.
I have found an old thread of a member that had the same problems after replacing ABS ECU.
