I'm trying to find a stockist and a price for an OCS sensor for my 3 door Stilo (the passengers seat mat for the airbag). Can anyone recommend a Fiat parts stockist? Or are there any parts dealers on here who could give me a price?

I'm keen to get a new sensor rather than an emulator. I managed to get an entire seat from a breakers on eBay, and it turned out that the ocs sensor in it was broken too! (It appeared to have been left out in the rain unfortunately)

Any advise would be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Hey, have you tried the various online breakers sites via google? There's fiat specialist breakers out there too, one in Birmingham for sure that I know of. Or even just a search on eBay?

Probably options you've tried.
 
I haven't really tried the breakers sites, but I've tried the ones on eBay.

Unfortunately Stilos aren't that common here in Cornwall, so none of the local breakers get them. (One breaker once said "a Fiat what??")

To be honest, after my experience with buying an entire seat from eBay, transferring the OCS and then finding it had a fault, has worried me a bit about getting a breakers one, untested.
 
Totally understand, give those ones a shout online though. They're not too common anywhere in most scrappies. Which must mean a good thing!
 
I ended up getting an emulator from 'airbaglightoff' on ebay... they also have a website. .. it emulates the passenger seat as occupied so if you bin it the bag will trigger regardless of if there is someone there or not. Its <£40 for an emulator rather than nearly 400 for a replacement OCS
 
Well, the seat wasn't any good. Didn't have the ocs sensor!
Have ordered an emulator as a temporary measure, and as a way to double check that the fault does actually lie in the sensor.
