Sorry, its a '01 2.2 petrol estate
Welcome to OOF
I have always used ecutesting, and have no complaints. There is a much simpler way of changing the ECU than described in the guide. Malc p taught me it. I have used it several times.
Basically you remove the power steering reservoir and the battery, unclip the ABS pipes form the bulkhead, loosen the outside ABS mounting bolt, remove the inside bolt, free it from the heatshield, tilt up the ABS/ECU assembly to reveal all six screws holding ECU to ABS body, and undo them.
If you want more details, let me know.
. After weighing it all up it seems that it would be cheaper to scrap the car and get a new one, as my mechanical skill is minimum to take the ecu out and re install. I've heard this problem only effects certain engines and years is this true? I want to get another Omega but a v6. Am I likely to run into the same issue with a v6?
