Hi Guys - can any one help?

I have been an Omega owner now off and on for 15 yrs.
Now they are the brink of becoming collectors items! and my old 2001 2.6 CDX is dying.
only 85k on the clock but I need an engine ECU as the current one got fried by a company that sounds like quick - fik

so... any ideas where I can get an ECU and have it programmed?

Thank you!!

I think your best and cost-effective option is to simple replace the ecu, locks (well, transponders) ring round the ignition etc all together, that way the car doesn't 'know' anything has changed. Getting a new ECU and getting it reprogrammed is perhaps a question best answered by Tech2 owners on here, such as The Boy.

So long as it's the right engine and gearbox combo (pretty common, really) you should be fine, any Omega 2.6 ECU will do for a direct swap. Won't try and answer for reprogramming as it's not my field, don't even own a code reader

Tech 2 only needed to correct gearbox ie auto to manual /vice versa... still plug and play regardless

I have a full 2.6 ecu set avaulable including 2x key chips, it's from a manual but I don't think that is a massive issue

How did they manage to come to that diagnosis, out of interest?

Very seldom do the ECUs give any trouble. Then again, at the hands of "thick fix".

It will probably drive with a auto/manual config error but I would imagine the auto box would probably go into limp home. Easily fixed with a Tech 2.

I'm guessing battery conection the wrong way round

Hi Guys

MASSIVE THANKYOU!

So basically - I  can an ECU off EBay? get it fitted and reprogrammed with a Tech2 'puter thingy?

Its as simple as that??  Thik Fix  did indeed short the old ECU but denied it...  Vauxhall master fik wanted £800 quid to do it.
Im not even joking!

Or a wanted post on here. You'll also get a bit better 'comeback' and 'aftersales care' so to speak. Also you won't be sold a lemon. 

[BIZYWZD]

ok - please can I have an Omega 2001 2.6 CDX engine ECU please?  I'm willing pay for it as well!

email me - thanks! 

How do I post a picture of the old one  on here?

[BIZYWZD]

Also - I don't understand what l

locks (well, transponders) ring round the ignition

means ?

Grateful of any help. Again many thanks!

[omegod]

I can supply everything you need and it's simple to swap the parts, I will message you privately ( Top of the screen under messages )

[BIZYWZD]

Thank you Omegod 

[biggriffin]

See how helpful oof'ers are. And non of us (stemo doesn't count) wear our underwear over our trousers 

[BIZYWZD]

Yes - really helpful guys - thanks again - look forward to the msg Omegod

This is the ECU I need - (experimenting with uploading images!)

I still don't understand how they managed it and, more importantly, how they are getting away with it!
