Opcom vs Tech2
« on: 08 December 2018, 11:14:49 AM »
Hi all,

in a clearout last week, I found my Opcom diagnostic lead, connector, and Vauxhall Opcom software disc that I used to use with our 2004 Zafira.


Can one get later discs that work on Saab 9-3NG, and if so, what can one actually do compared with Tech2? Can one do any programming etc? I am thinking specifically if I fit the power fold wing mirrors I bought a while back, I have to activate them with Tech2, but can I do this (or anything else) using Opcom, or is it just for pulling out fault codes?

You can set/reset a few things with Opcom,  e.g. reset dpf, do a forced regen, set injector coding etc.

You need to select the latest 1.9 Derv dpf you can find (often a Zafira).
