Omega General Help / ABS Module Part No 9192236

« on: 05 February 2010, 12:33:10 »

ABS module diagnosed as faulty.
Only picked up due the recent icy road conditions, otherwise fine.
Assumed previous owner has removed ABS bulb as no self test on start up.
Got part number 9192236 from helpful Vauxhall garage.
Did not order for obvious reasons, £927.00 + Vat.
Any member point me to the best solution.
Is there another number for this part?

That was my initial thought as the car came with a few undeclared faults that have manifested themselves over time.
It had a diagnostic check recently for a stalling issue, and this wasn't detected.
Looks like a dash out job to confirm, but not until the weather improves.
If it's been like this since we bought it, a few more weeks isn't going to matter.
My 05 Golf's ABS works right down as low as 2-3 MPH.
Thanks for all your suggestions

Is it possible the bulb has been removed to hide a fault .... it should light then go of when ignition turned on shouldnt it ?

I'm with this one ... my betting is if you put a bulb in it will stay on to show you have an ABS fault.

BTW .. on my MOT the "computer print out" gave the examiner specific instructions on checking the ABS light comes on then extinguishes.... if it hadn't it would have been a fail .. simple ..

With the recent icy conditions, I've noticed that the ABS does not appear to work, just locks up the brakes.
What is the minimum speed that the ABS works at, as I remember my old Vectra did not work at low speed.
I've noticed that the ABS light does not come on and go off when ignition is turned on.
Had a diagnostic check recently for a stalling issue but did not pick up any ABS fault codes.
Any thoughts appreciated

You need be extremely careful when removing the transponder chip, as most of the early ones are lightly glued in place besides held in place by the clip.
If you force it, the chip will snap at the bottom where the internal aerial is located rendering it useless, then you'll really have a problem if you only have one key.
If it doesn't move, run a fine bladed knife down the side of the chip to loosen the glue, and gently prise it.

Omega General Help / 2002 2.2 Auto Safe Mode Running

« on: 21 October 2009, 09:59:21 »

Started yesterday with the wife's car.
Shortly after starting off and stopping at junction, it lurched and then won't go above 10 MPH.
I should add that all the time it was doing 10MPH she had her foot to the floor fearing it was going to cut out on the dual carriageway.
When she eased up on the pedal it started to come back into life again.
Thinking it was a on-off, it has done it again this morning after stopping at same junction, but has not gone into safe mode, but running rough.
Is this weather related as it's got colder over the last few days?

If it programs in Ok and cuts out after starting, its most likely a used chip that's now "locked"
If it doesn't program in, same problem.

Make sure you get the right one as there are different remotes for alarmed/non alarmed and pre/post facelift.
Loads of Ebay sellers list their remotes as suitable for just about every model going.
You can't even guarantee what on the back of the case (if you can still read it) is the same as the circuit board inside.
Try this link below for reference.
The remotes are at the bottom of the page

Omega General Help / Re: Chip range?

« on: 13 May 2009, 11:30:25 »

At 6" you're probably right on the limit.
Some Fords are as little as 2".
Any further away from the coil it will misread the immo chip and you'll end up with a non-start and subsequent theft mode (spanner light on permanently)
Quickest fix I've found is to central lock the car, leave for a minute, open and start car.

The 4 digit code can be pulled from the immobiliser, but you'd get charged 2-3 times what it would cost from the vauxhall dealer.
Unfortunately there are no magic internet sites where you can get them for free.
vauxhall prices vary between £18-£27 depending on area, but take £25 as a norm, and then add the VAT.
I get my codes from an independant supplier and they cost me £20+VAT.

« on: 22 April 2009, 12:44:27 »

Be wary buying off Ebay, most sellers will list a 2 or 3 button remote and list every vauxhall model they can think of that it's suitble for.
Remotes are specific to models and whether it has standard factory alarm fitted or not.
I keep a stock of used and new remotes. PM me if you know which one you need.

« on: 15 April 2009, 08:24:41 »

If they are that thick, try taking the blade out of the flip remote and give them the blade only to cut, then the flip part doesn't confuse them.
Pity you don't live closer to me, as I could have done it myself.
Good Luck

Many thanks for confirming they are all the same.
Just needed to double check, as I've made a few recent bad buys.
Best regards to all

Thanks for the reply guys, but are the Vauxhall oil coolers universal or different ones for different engine sizes.
