Recaro resisters

[Impey]

Were is the best place to get a set Of genuine Recaro resisters to fit in my 182?

 

[Jamie]

No need. Use maplins. I did, cost me 80p. Think I used the 4 ohm items.

 

[Impey]

Dont you have to solder maplins tho

 

[Jamie]

No.

Drop me a pm with your address and il send you a couple!! They cost 0.025p per resistor!

The ones you get from capital searing etc are expensive as you get a fancy plug with it. Plinking a resistor in the plug does the same thing!

 

[Sam]

When you got the recaros in a trophy, do they just have resisters in the plug, or do the renault ones have a connection on the seat?

Always wondered. Thanks, Sam!

 

[Ali]

Got mine from Capital seating.

 

[Impey]

Does any body know the part number for them from capital seating??

tell me about it. wish i'd read on her first before getting mine. they're always faulty when moving the seat also. £40 well spent

They just dont have the wiring for the airbags mate. So essentially no need for a resistor.

Me too

I've used the maplin resistor's and they didn't work i used a professional garage to fit my recaro's aswell so no back street jobby but luckily i ordered a second pair of resistor's from capital seating fitted them and they worked a treat i didn't even have to get the airbag's reset either.
Imo you only get what you pay for.

Me either. I did have an issue with the pretensioner though. There is a switch on the runners. I changed them for the ones on the runners i got with the recaros, but had to change back to the ones on the origional seats. Strange i know.

I'm sorry but that's b****cks! You don't get what you pay for. Sometimes when you put the rresistor in it doesn't make contact enough as the legs are about 0.1mm smaller then the plug. To make sure they are making good connection you can snip a bit of the resistor leg and stuff it in after putting the resistor in to pack it out and ensure it won't move around.

A resistor is a resistor, capital seating don't use special ones! They just provide you with a nice fancy connector.

I used normal 3 ohm resistors in my steering wheel to turn off the airbag light , the light didn't go off though to start with as the legs of the resistor were again too small, so snipped a bit of the leg and used that to help pack it out and a bit of insulation tape to help it too. I did gregg's on here too and he has never had a problem.

A bad workmen always blames his tools/parts

(no offence ment by the way )

 

[Ali]

Sorry for the late reply...This is what you need

 

[Impey]

Nice 1 ppl.
Al cheers for the pic take it u got urs from caital seating as well

 

[Ali]

yes mate.

Hello richy, do yoy have pics of how to install this resistor??
