Still messing about with the srs control unit. I tried a second hand one but merc benz could not over ride the vin number and code mine in. they say it can't be done. has anybody had any dealings with a company called revtronic. They say they can repair the old unit and they did say it had to be the original unit fitted to the car. I don't know whether to go down this route or just bite the bullet and buy a knew one from merc. It galls me to be forced to go to merc but they seem to have closed all the alternatives. regards AA

if it were mine I'd repair it - no brainer really.
These things are often nothing more serious than a bit of dry solder or a blown 10p resistor. Would you throw out an expensive TV without at least having an repair man look at it? Why should your control unit be any different?

i agree, we fixed my sons astra dti engine ecu,just a dry joint, but if your not that brave send it to someone with the software to find the fault and fix it, it can't be as expensive as a new MB fitted one.

HI Padraig, spoke to the airbag people but he is not hopeful of a repair, they mostly reset units from cars that have had the airbags deployed. My unit is faulty but is not from a crashed car. He is going to try but no promises. Fingers crossed. Will let you know the outcome. AA
