Just fixed my C Max after low speed shunt . Seat belt tensioners gone off and replaced but airbags were OK Now I Cant put dash light out as diagnostic reads "Crash data stored".
Can I just change Airbag control module for another one or is it Vehicie Specific and will I have to get my own module cleared before the light will go out ?... Read more
Hi I had this with Seat Arosa I bought.Easiest thing to do is speak to a company that deals with airbag resetting.You should be able to find one locally online.Mine cost abt £50 to wipe the data.If you do get another airbag module theres every chance it will also have crash data on on it as mine did! Hope this is helpful
Thanks Woogie -I think you are right re another one having same problem I have had mine re set - there and back in two days and £30 seems good value with todays prices. Cheers Mike

Unless there is a sturdy crossmember or subframe the full width of the car, then no.

We get exactly the country we deserve for voting in (every time) such a bunch of self serving greedy muppets at all levels.
But Politics seems to only attract the self-serving greedy ones... Who else CAN we vote in?
Alfa Romeo in itself is a good brand when it comes to cars but as the article said, there are still a lot of people who are unfamiliar with it and would rather go for famous manufacturers like GM or BMW. Extending the warranty might help, but this should also be paired with efficient after-sales support. This could help make sure that customers continue to be satisfied even after the vehicle has rolled out of the showroom. Read more
