hi all
i am looking to get a chip for my 2000 facelift 2.5 td omega.
does anyone on here supply them or fit them?

i have been told that mine will probably be the model that needs soldering is that correct?

one last thing where is the ecu located?

any help or info will be very welcome

I know a man who can supply chips for them, from memory, £70 delivered.

Can't chip an auto without changing gearbox - it will rip the standard ar25 gearbox to shreds.

ECU in box by battery.

thanks,
can you send me his contact details

mine is a manual so no problem regarding gear box

[TheBoy]

PM me your contact details and I'll forward them on, and he'll contact you direct to get further details.

He will need the ECU number (214, 215, 427 or 428) - this is the last 3 digits on the sticker on the front of ECU.  You will also need to check its socketed - there is a guide in Maintenence Guides.

thanks just looked at the number on the ecu and it is 427

if the info i have had before is correct i think this means that i have to solder it in

does this guy you know fit them...or is ther any one near notts willing to fit it for me

427 seem to be 50/50 - so go check if it has a socket in

im not too far away from you so could probably fit it for you, as TB says it might be a soldered type as the last one i done which i believe was a 427, if you need a socket converter there is a components shop in chesterfield

theboy ill pm my details to you and ill check which it is

alf thank for the offer and when i get sorted ill get in touch if thats ok

[TheBoy]

Neither do I, and mine's been in and out like a fiddlers elbow, due to an ongoing pump issue. 

Well worth getting it chipped. Big difference in perfomance and fuel economy.
TB's "man that can" is a diamond geezer, very helpfull.
