Exactly as chrisgixer says, only ever available on the Y25DT (the BMW common rail lump fitted to Opel only - UK got the rather naff, comparitively speaking, Y22DTH, 2.2DTi)

Therefore no software for anything other than the Y25DT, thus no good in any other car.


TD owners wanting a box change, as much as I hate the Omega manual, should change to a manual. Its a different car -*much* better MPG (a match for the 2.2DTi when chipped, economy wise), much more responsive.

If I were to buy another 2.5TD, and I have considered it, it would have to be a manual.

Yes, but remember Hans-V6, the guy from the Netherlands: his car had 5-speed auto and was definately 3,2 engine...  :-/ It has been discussed but nobody seems to have the infinite answer to that question. I have never seen any other V6 Omega with 5-speed auto exept that one...

Mrs Opti swears blind that my 53 plate MV6 auto has five speeds. To be fair to her there does seem to be four distinct gear changes after moving off from rest... :-? :-?.....I wonder.. :y
It has 4 - its the TC lockup that makes people think it has 5




I'm guessing torque converter... :y

........one thing that really pisses me off is when the auto box insists on changing down from top (4th) to 3rd every time I descend the slightest of slopes. Annoying.... >:( My old 3.2 plod estate had exactly the same party trick.... :(

One of my favourite gripes with the autobox. Slightest sniff of an incline or decline at between 30 and 50 the bloody thing changes gear and I find myself shouting at it....."but you didn't need to change!!" but it never listens. ::) ;D

It never came out of the factory with that gearbox ;)

I would imagine its a pig to drive, as all the change maps will be wrong...

I'm sure you must be sure with your answer. It was just so "convincing" setup that Hans-V6 had.
