Hi All,
The silver spidermobile passed its MOT this week, no problems. The tester turned off my airbag light for me and didn't charge anything! I of course bought him a couple of pints!
The diagnostic computer showed the fault, and I quote, " Left hand side squib" came up. No one knows what a SQUIB is. My view is that it is the firework device in the seatbelt pre-tensioner. What do you think?
The mechanic thought it was the airbag in the seat until I told him the B doesn't have seat airbags. He advised me to remove the connectors under the seats and replace them with good in-line connectors, the type you press together with pliers. Apparently, the slightest voltage drop accross one of those blocks will trigger the airbag light.
Maybe we are geting somewhere with this problem?
Just off now to get my stainless steel Powerflow exhaust made and fited. Will keep you posted.
