We have a W211 E220 CDi estate with the dreaded SRS light on atm. Icarsoft points to the NS sensor on the front bumper impact bar (i know, a proper STAR read is needed )
As its the pita one to get to of the two we cant check the cable continuity/clean the contacts to see if that rectifies the problem, so, as we are struggling to get time to have the car off the road, i am trying to do some pre-emptive work...
Merc Northampton have given me 2 part numbers of what the sensor could be by VIN search on EPC, one a Bosch sensor, the other a ? sensor.
I am told these sensors, if it indeed need replacing must be replaced like for like by manufacturer and Part No, as we cant get to the sensor atm, in order to save the car being sat dismantled whilst we wait for parts, is there any way of telling which sensor it might be? ie. If the sensor is Bosch, will the whole SRS system be Bosch components, or the other make of parts? in so that can i check another, more easily accessible part of the system such as the SRS module under the ash tray (i believe) to see what make it is and order the same make for the sensor?
I hope that makes sense!
Thanks!
