Hi guys,
I have spoken to a mechanic friend at work last night who is mates with an ex vauxhall technician he is going to try and find out if my model has the unit fiitted hopefully this will save me pulling out the glovebox in vein, its amazing how long I have put up with this at one stage I even thougth the car had been front ended badly and put back together slightly bent, however its a relief to learn that the symptons others describe fit the problem i have perfectly.
I have had new front wishbones,tyres and tracking done with next to no noticeable improvement the tyres wear evenly and the car looks balanced the rear shocks and springs have also been replaced thinking perhaps that was causing the floaty vagueness being experienced but alas its still there.
whats strange is somedays its feels almost normal to drive then others its here we go get the stetson and cowboy boots out its rodeo time if you know what i mean.

I know exactly what you mean, mine is still randomly wandering around - think I will just pull the relay and see how it goes

(if I can find it, can someone post a pic or a quick instruction how to get to it please??)

Thanks

There is a pic posted in the earlier threads it looks from what i have seen like a standard plug in relay from the outside, the cover in the pic i have seen is red, but looking at the internal components its obviously more than just a relay it has a small what looks like a mirco processor or chip, thats where i guess the need too program it as per model comes in.I would try and add the pic but can't figure how to do it yet lol.
Hope this helps

Quick update, the car was great for a period of time however its reverted back to its usual of wandering all over the road (really bad) so today I have just pulled out the servotronic control module and will see how I go without out it.

My suspicion is that the module is blowing somehow - may be wrong.

Any ideas how to test the module (Mark - could I post it to you please for a check on its programming status (want least assistance)

Will I cause it any damage to drive around with the module removed?

Thanks for your help

Have you checked that it is not the front tyres causing the problem, my michelin pilot primacy tyres were perfect but the pirelli p7000 tyres that i have now are very nervous on some roads and get a lot of tramlining, A trip to WIM did help but tony explained how some tyre designs do not help with certain suspension set ups. when i need to replace the tyres i will go back to michelins.Can you swop your tyres around if you have other brands on the rear from the front,and make a comparison, also have you checked tyre pressures with a calibrated gauge.

Add that because OEM Omega tyres were Pirelli's
