ABS ECU TROUBLES
« on: 04 September 2007, 11:37:21 »
Yesterday I fitted a brand new abs sensor to no avail the problem was still there so I thought I'd have a look at the relays I have had troubles before so I thought I take the relays out I struggled to get the rear one out as someone had bent all the connectors on the unit and discovered it had been glued down.

Now I need to get my hands on a new unit as when I pulled the relay out it bought with it half of the connectors.

So is there anything I need to know regards changing and so on.

I have heard the unit from vx is £800+ so am going to try find a second hand unit.

Do the units need to have the same part number and are they easy to remove/change.

The car will be off the road from friday as its mot will be expired so atleast I will have time to work on the car.

All help on this would be much appreciated as I don't no really where to begin.

There is a replacement guide in Maint Guides.

£800 sounds fitted price

Steve W who wrote the guide paid about £300 for a brand new one from Vauxhall

Others have bought from scrappers or even had theres refurbed.

If you buy new, I think Mark DTM is after a broken one to disect.

If I can find a replacement unit then I would quite happily forward on the old unit.

I dont think my budget will stretch to a new unit but if I can find a second hand unit and it does the job then I'd be happy.

Can some one find me the link for the guide as I have checked the maintenance guide section and could not spot it may have missed it :-[

Just found the link but not sure its what i'm after as its just the ecu removal i'm gonna need to take the whole unit out, not unless i have missed that bit too.

This is the one I was thinking of :

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152729807

I believe some people have done this but not removed quite so many other bits.

I did mine, http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1168732737/0

Might help  :y

Didn't realise it was 8 months ago!

I used a torx bit from a screwdriver set with a 7mm spanner to rotate to get the screws out

How can you tell the difference between units and will I need an Identical one, obviously I dont need one with the TC but  I know where there are a couple of 2.0 omega's being broken, are earlier units the same as the later ones.

I know where there is an M reg 2.0 so was wondering if the unit would be the same.

All help on this would be gratefully appreciated.

i have recently had mine replaced, cost the AA £455, £281 of that was the unit itself.

Easiest way of IDing it would be by the bosch numbers, i would say there is no g'tee that you will end up with a unit that is better than the one you have, and i understand they are not the easiest things to get at or replace.......

Hi there

Cheers for the suggestion can you tell me where abouts the bosch number should be as I cannot see anything written on the top should it be on a sticker or imprinted somewhere.

If I can find the number I may have a word with vx to see what there price is for just the unit.

I'm guessing reprogramming will not be needed being that I will be moving the ecu over.

Early one:



Later one:



Las jacarandas has a few early ones for about 25 quid each and there is a guy on ebay re-conditioning the later ones for a ton.
