Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Since changing to a three spoke wheel, I have started to get the airbag light coming on and having to have it reset (unrecorded fault). I have removed the wheel to check the contacts, but the fault persists. I have now bought a new airbag contact unit from Ebay (sounded cheap @ £10 so I took a punt) and my question after the event is this: is the unit 996 652 211 00 compatible with my MY98 C2. Jon

POST 2Original post

Yes it is, provided you have manual transmission.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard. Yes it is manual. I'll let you know if it cures the fault in due course Jon
