Airbag Problem

Update: Fitted the replacement module but still had the same codes showing. Put the old module back in and had an auto electrician look at it. He found the problem in about 15 mins. It was a loose connector that looked as if it was going to the centre speaker in the top middle of the dash immediatel...

Airbag Problem

Thanks for the help. I had read that second hand with the same part number was pot luck. Some have said they worked without coding and others have said they had to get it coded. I have the latest versions of inpa+/d & p but would need to research how to do it. I have only ever used it for bleedi...

Airbag Problem

Thanks for the reply X5Sport. I think the emulator is supposed to do the same thing as the resistor. I did ask the question if the module was error code and fault free and was told it was but i guess you can't believe everything from ebay. It was only £19 so worth a try before it goes to the indy. I...

Re: Crank Shaft Pulley Wheel

Got the car back yesterday at 3pm all sorted. £495 total cost. :( . The pulley was £275 and the belt £35. It probably shouldn't make a difference but it seems to run a lot smoother now.

Re: Crank Shaft Pulley Wheel

No Idea, I've had it 3 years and the only recall i've had was drive shaft related I think.
Just done a quick search and there are no outstanding recalls on the vehicle according to the Gov.uk website.

Crank Shaft Pulley Wheel

Driving home last night on a twisty country road when I heard a slight thud from the front of the vehicle. Power steering went off immediately so I had to wrestle the X6 to the side of the road and into a nearby lay-by. Turns out the pulley which is attached to the crank shaft had failed. Had the ve...

Re: Advanced driving course

Done the police one. Class 1 Advanced driver and advanced police motorcycles. Retired now and work in engineering.
Two of the best courses I ever did. A lot of classroom work involved.

Service Indicator

Had the X6 service last year and up until the weekend the car was showing 11000 miles to go until next service was due. The car has been parked on the drive since the weekend. Used it last night and it now shows that it is due a service with the word SERVICE on dash display at start up. Where has th...

Re: Vehicle Recall

Had the car in on Monday. They replaced the Artic disc for the propshaft, whatever that is.
They did a health check and found a broken rear coil spring :-(
