Had my airbag light start flashing a few days ago, and I thought it might have been the connectors for the anti-submarine ram on the passenger seat again.. I fixed that one by soldering the wires into the connectors for it.

Anyway, turns out it is a drivers airbag module fault. A bit of research told me it is likely to be the airbag clock spring, so I pulled that out yesterday and confirmed one of the 2 conductors for the airbag goes high resistance at certain angles as I turn the clockspring.

I have looked up epc-data for a part number, but it gives several, and I am not sure which one is correct.

There is also this post from PN-Mad from last year which shows a part number that matches one of the numbers listed on epc-data.

However, I can only assume that there is differences depending on the presence of VDC on the car, as the steering angle sensor is included with the unit.

Is anyone able to confirm the correct part number for a 2005 V35 sedan with VDC? Or even better. have a near new unit they want to sell?

These are the part numbers from epc.

25567-7W025 - A$221 (this one is listed in the link above)

B5567-CF40A - A$197

25567-AL525 - A$198 (or A$98 if I am happy to pay for freight from UAE and wait for it to arrive)

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
