hello Marcio. I'm in Sorocaba and I face the same problem. I can send you a summary of the research I did. I have an Omega manufactured in February 2005. My ECU has these codes: Bosch Code: 0 261 209 025 Service Code (GM / Holden): 12585814 Search code: 92175385 Most current replacement BOSCH...

No..no..Fu Manchu....:D I couldn't take you money for this.. What I would accept, yes ... very willingly ... would be some suggestion to be able to receive here in Brazil, the kit (cable + SOE software) provided by friend Jason (Tazzi - Envyous Customs). I've been trying to buy it for long...

Constant ECU temp monitoring..? o_O Yes..!:) It is an evolution of the concept ...:D Thermal box to protect the ECU in the parking lot immediately after traveling in congested traffic. A condition in which, if there is no natural ventilation, the engine compartment becomes a true pizza oven...

I apologize. I am not as frequent as I would like to follow topics. I send more pictures with details of the modification I made on my Omega CD. With these modifications, I never again experienced a "no-crank-no-start" failure. On the other hand, as I now have constant monitoring of the ECU...

I'm sorry friends... Despite my post does not refer to ECU repair...I believe it's related! After a few months experiencing the same symptoms ... I solved the problem myself ... relocating the ECU ... as attached pictures! It's been about six months without new occurrences. In my case ... all...

After more than 6 months experiencing this problem ... and searching the various similar occurrences reported in this forum, I agreed with the diagnosis that indicates that this fault is the result of very high temperature in the ECU. Thanks to Jason ( akaTazzi - Envyous Customs) My previous...

Immediately after creating this post, I realized how suspicious it may seem. :confused: The procedure I ask, however, is foreseen for emergencies. When for generic reasons, the coded key is lost. The fact that I only had one of the original keys (for now), made me think of a "plan B" in case I...

Can one of my colleagues confirm that the existing procedure for starting the engine in case of emergency - key unavailability - specified for the VT 3.8 year 1999 can be applied to the vehicle VZ 3.6 year 2005? I refer to the procedure that includes the use of any key (mechanically compatible...

not_an_aba_fan, thank you for the clarification. I'll check the catalysts as soon as I get a laser thermometer borrowed. Despite the focus of attention is the catalyst, and to have awareness that are important elements in the most responsible context, I still wonder if simply removing these...

In Brazil, in practical terms, only the trucks and other vehicles converted to use Natural Gas are periodically subjected to inspection "strict" (and impeditive) referring emissions. To be honest, this question depends on much more than the owner's sense of responsibility than the law...

Be assured that I dispense all the respect that I should dispense with the friends of this forum - one that most helps me here in Brazil. As owner of Holden VZ since 2005 and son of a professional "maintenance carburetors," it is quite interesting to observe the different points of view...

Paragraph of the user manual in Portuguese Brazil, GM Omega CD 2005 (3.6 LY7 engine): ""The engine is designed to use regular gasoline (octane in minimum anti-knock index of 87 units) Unleaded and Type C (with 22% ± 1% of anhydrous ethyl alcohol) in compliance with Resolution CONAMA No. 18/86...

As an international curiosity in Brazil our Commodore VZ are called "Omega" CD. A public statement from Petrobras announces the following: ""There are two automotive gasoline sold in Brazil ratings: Common (minimum octane rating of 87 IAD) and Premium (minimum octane rating of 91 IAD). From...

I confess that in my case I do not specifically I focused on grounding points during the diagnosis.Nevertheless, they will certainly be relevant to diagnosis of the problem. (I apologize to friends for might not be expressing myself correctly in English). To detail best: In my VZ the...

I experienced similar problem six months ago. Immediately after turning the key to starting, (a) Message low level of fuel, (b) key coded correctly recognized by BCM - means padlock sign off on the panel, (c) no popping sound of the drive starter contactor after turning the key, (d) three...

Very good Mr. Markovr. It is exactly the kind of work I prefer to do here in my own garage! Especially the "special tools" .. :clapping: .. With this detail, I feel safe to perform the job. The rack ends of good quality, I find in Brazil with relative ease. You may be surprised at this...

Thanks for all the feedbacks. I believe that at least for the chains I can expect some further evidence of wear. Steering rack This week, I came across a new evidence. A little knock on the front suspension, left hand. Occurs most clearly when traffic by cobbled streets. I lifted the front of...

Low fuel pressure & Quiet driving style = wrong transmission diag This is what I found searching the web: The V6 LY7, has no interference. To my preventive strategy, which should reconcile budget, I believe I can expect some evidence of symptoms of possible failure in timing chains - despite...

in time.. Many thanks MattK. The preventive strategy for maintaining my VZ 05 LY7, I perform with my own hands. My Omega CD reaches this month to 240,000 kilometers mark on the odometer. The coverage of timing chains, never been opened in this engine. Fortunately, I believe that this will...

Another poor Brazilian - { as Fu Manchu says... :spot on: } (but a toolbox, a scanner (CAN & ALDL), a GM service manual and a passion ...) I have a 2005 Holden VZ. (in Brasil named "Omega CD") I believe (not sure) that all of the Holden Commodore exported to Brazil are the same profile...

oops.. now: VZ Commodore
