White ECO Button
« on: 07 August 2008, 21:34:15 »
The black has come off my ECO button and the dealer says its part of the whole heating system control panel costing £535 + VAT  :( . Is there a way of replacing this button if I could get one from a breakers ??
Cheers Mike.

I find it really hard to believe the facelift Omegas are THAT different...pre 2000 the eco button simply unplugs from the dashboard with the help of a small flat bladed screwdriver and you simply popin a replacement...surely the facelift cant be any different???

Yip I heard the same thing, tried to source some from Siemens who make the control module for the Omega climate control. The rubber buttons are not a separate item according to VX, but if you look at the VX EPC for the face lift climate control, it gives a Siemens part number for the rubber buttons.

 You can try to contact Siemens directly or you might try RS to order a Siemens part for you. Worth a try, always play the environment card and say that your trying to reduce electronic waste  ;) etc.

Best of luck and let us know how you get along.

Failing that the panels pop up on ebay now and again...replace the whole lot.

Wow seems rather a negative way to go to have to replace the entire unit cos a bulb has blown or the button peeled...good ol' Vaux! :)

There was a climate panel in a scrapper at Car Transplants in Nantwich Cheshire only last week...  no eco button though, as that is a seperate item!!!!

Google 'em, contact them, they'll mail order it if still any good...
