Hi I have just checked where that is and there is nothing there so I guess it’s been removed. No airbags have gone off but I suppose the garage I bought it from could have used the ecu on another car Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Do you also know where this might go?

Awwww... I think you’re right - that’s quite rude robbing a part like that but it’s the sort of thing that happens - as alluded to, ‘clean’ airbag ECUs are always in demand (after an airbag has fired, the ECU stores the crash data and becomes scrap).

Once you’ve finished with the repairs, you’ll probably need a visit to someone with the software (‘MultiECUScan’ or similar) and the cable to clear any error codes caused by unplugged components. Doesn’t have to be a main dealer.

I bought one for a future project for £40 a couple of weeks ago with crash sensors which I’ve never had to change. They can be had quiet cheap if you get one at the right time.

Good price! Looks like I’ll be paying about £80 for a 2013 one, apparently they are not transferable year to year which is a bugger as I could have had a 2015 one last week for 60 and it was local[emoji35]

They are transferable. The only difference I have come across is a metal cased one and a plastic cased one. I have changed around 10-15 of these and they have all been the same. You don’t need to get one from the same year.

Really? Just going on what I was told by a guy who resets them. I was slightly concerned that the part number on the 2015 one was different to the 2013 one. If that’s the case I can look a bit wider. Cheers
