Air Bag Warning Light '99 106

[jel183 (UK )]

I know this topic has been discussed many times on this NG but I thought I would add my bit... my air bag warning light came on - took it to my dealer as per the manual.. he told me needed a new control unit (£150+). Read this NG and asked around - appears to be a common problem with the seat belt tensioner. Took the plunge and cut the connection under the seat and reconected it with a 5p block connector - NO problems since - needless to say I am looking for a new dealer!!

Really the manufactor should be doing regular tests on there dealers to ensure they are offering the best possible service. A lot of the dealerships are causing customers to move to other manufactors.

Hello,

Really the manufactor should be doing regular tests on there dealers to ensure they are offering the best possible service. A lot of the dealerships are causing customers to move to other manufactors.

I wish it was the case. We, in France, also complain about that.
