So what code reader would I need for a 1995 Omega?

http://www.talktomycar.co.uk/Shop/Code_Readers/Code_Readers.htm
None, a paperclip will do engine.

If you want to do other stuff, a Tech1 (around £500 - £700 secondhand), or a Tech2(really from 97 on, around £2k)

Or Opel Autoscanner about £250 ish
They got that properly working on pre 97 cars?

Menu starts at  1987  Omega A [and others + Senator] only Engine Management - 1990 more modules. 94 Omega B on menu with more options to choose from.

Have not tried it don't have a car to try it on.

I thought the pre 97 stuff was non existent or flakey on it...   ...if ever you do try it, I would be interested to know how you get on.

Had a brief try with aldl adaptor on pin 6, pulls line down but no response seen on PC.

Interesting part was it did turn off the EML, engine was not running, just residual lights  after power on self test. Repeatable as well, each time request sent, EML turned off.

This looks like a good item to keep an eye on if you want a good tech2 system :

Taken off ebay, guess he was offered a reasonable amount, and took it.  Hope it was above £2k, as it has a CANdi

If I ever win the lottery I'll get myself one  ;D bet someone has bagged a bargain with that one... I just ordered a crappy one with some "My Naff Code Reader" software, the seller swears it will re-set my airbag light or I can have my money back minus postage so I'll let you all know if its a hit or miss jollopy  ;D

Looks like the ECU saw something. Whether it understood it or not is another matter. It's a real shame the source code for the Hungarian (or any) software is not around because it really needs for the real time communication to be moved off to a bit of hardware. Shame they designed an interface with multiplexers, etc. and didn't stick a microcontroller on it to handle that side of things. A PC is not really up to it at the best of times before you start adding USB adaptors and the like.

Oh, and it needs translation to English too.

cheapo, when i tested one, couldn't detect the fault I put on my airbag system, but was able to reset light when I fixed the fault.

cheapo needs a laptop with proper serial port - usb adapters probably won't work

thanks for that, it looks as if I added a comma onto the end which upset it. Ebay addresses are a bit fussy at times !.

That is currently a stunning price, seeing as it has CANdi, though ask the seller that it has a 32Mb flash card, not the 10Mb one...
