Yep, OBDII is compatible mate. Have a look at the different scanners that can be used with Opel / Vauxhall Omega cars:

Has anybody on here got an OBD-II tool? I know TheBoy has the Tech2. :o

Quote
Standard OBDII (Approx £30 - £100)
Many different types, either standalone device, or ELM32x type devices. Reliable, often easy to use. Many can do Live Data.

Reads 2.2/2.6/3.2 engines only (some may also do partial autobox code reads).

For ELM devices, try http://www.scantool.net

Also TheBoy's topic (above) only mentioned the 2.2/2.6/3.2 engines, does this mean they don't work on 2.5 V6?

I'm new to Omega's never mind Diagnostics, I need help finding a cheap reliable OBD-II for my Omega which provides live data too!

Thanks alot,
Alex

Are you sure yours is a 2.5 engine?

To do: Replace brake discs and pads; adjust already replaced shoes; check for leaks in oil cooler, cambelt area, crank seals, sump, dipstick; replace osf door; replace a tyre; clean, MOT.

Or the cheaper Opelscanner - £340.00which will do all of that.  :y
