Airbag light and seat belt tensioner

[hoggaz]

Had abit of an accident the other night. Hit a curb, the airbag light came on and the seat belt tensioned. How do I fix these?

 

[BrianR]

Pull out your wallet at the nearest dealer and say "help yourself"

 

[Adamhodg]

You will need to send your airbag ecu off to germany(im trying to find the company and address now).
You will need to get a new pretensioner probably be able to get one from your local scrapyard??

 

[lemonnobby]

yea you can send your ecu away to be wiped and you will have to buy new pretensioner.

 

[hoggaz]

Does it have to be sent away? Is there nowhere where you can drive in and they can do it? I assume the car will still run without the ecu? What sort of price am I looking at?

 

[hoggaz]

Oh and do I need a new pretensioner or can the old one be re tensioned?

 

[lemonnobby]

unless you want a new computer from renault mate thats the only other thing, you can retension it cos fires simiar to and airbag (has detenator etc) so you have to have a new one.

 

[hoggaz]

Ah pish.

 

[christhekiddy]

how much is it to send it back ??

 

[Dave]

As said - New pretensioner - Easy.

New airbag computer.

 

[daviebroon]

[hoggaz]

Will it pass mot with the airbag light on and the seatbelt tensioned? How much is it to send the air bag computer away and where do I send it to? Does anybody know any companies who deal with this?
