As the car had not been into OPC since recall for wiring looms the dealer also fitted new loom free of charge which was a bonus.

I have been told at the last few services there was nothing wrong and other than having a flat battery and it replaced we have had no issues but this fault has returned 500 kms after my last service.

I then took car to Newcastle OPC who could not reset light and diagnosed a faulty airbag module(the new one).They replaced it and still couldn't reset light.The software they had wouldn't speak to the new module so they got in touch with Headquarters at Reading and they sent up new software and they then got light reset.

I can of course source the parts which are not currently held in stock by porsche in my country but it seems like an expensive game of trial and error as I am also told if they if they are opened and fitted even for a test they are not returnable..
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.

Hi
I noticed a few old posts on the relating to behind bumper sensors but wondered if any one had any further experience with what my dealer calls the Airbag spring setup behind the steering wheel. Im sorry I would love to know what the part is and also the part no and if its common on all 993's or just Turbo specific.
For context of any advice any member may offer
I have previously had and a now again have an intermittent fault with the Airbag warning light. I have had the computer reset and error codes checked I am presuming that this possible based on my conversations with the dealer?? I have been told at the last few services there was nothing wrong and other than having a flat battery and it replaced we have had no issues but this fault has returned 500 kms after my last service.
Historically a few years back the car had what I thought was a new behind bumper sensor and similar circumstances but recently now have the fault return although there are no error codes Im told and only the red exclamation mark and airbag fault is visible.
I can of course source the parts which are not currently held in stock by porsche in my country but it seems like an expensive game of trial and error as I am also told if they if they are opened and fitted even for a test they are not returnable..
Many thanks in advance for any advice
Hi, I bought a 993 Carrera last September with airbag warning light on.Dealer said it just needs a new contact spring on the steering column and he would order one and send it on for me to fit. The new spring arrived and I proceeded to fit it which was straight forward.I then took the car to the dealers preferred independent to get the warning light reset. The light would not reset with an old bosch hammer or durametric software. Garage then said it could be the airbag module and not the contact spring so a new module was duly ordered. I fitted it and then back down the road to get light reset and guess what,it still wouldn't reset. I then took car to Newcastle OPC who could not reset light and diagnosed a faulty airbag module(the new one).They replaced it and still couldn't reset light.The software they had wouldn't speak to the new module so they got in touch with Headquarters at Reading and they sent up new software and they then got light reset. The parts were not cheap as contact spring was £240 and the new airbag module was £510. The 993 parts are no longer available so it is 996 contact spring and airbag module that were fitted. In my experience I would advise you to go to official Porsche centre. I was lucky as arranged that vehicle would be put right when I bought it and the dealer had to stomach the £1000 plus bill. As the car had not been into OPC since recall for wiring looms the dealer also fitted new loom free of charge which was a bonus.
Thank you
I believe the part is 996 652 211 01
Which is actually 500 GBP pounds here and looks like a lot cheaper overseas, maybe the OPC is the best route
