airbag faulty

[bfong]

My 04 CPO CS has the airbag faulty warning, I asked my stealership, they said it is not under warranty and will cause me one thousand to fix it. I am in Vancouver Canada and there is only one Porsche dealer, everyone got rip off by them. I am really not happy with PCNA, they don't stand behind their CPO warranty, when they sell the car, everything seems to be covered under warranty but then nothing is ever covered. Has anyone had this warning light go off and had it fixed by warranty or CPO? Is there a way fix the problem by myself?

What was the airbag fault code(s)? (there are TSBs on specific codes).

MCL isn't really noted for their customer service. But with that said either the part is under warrenty or it isn't. Sometimes they might make an exception if you are a good customer. But good to MCL is that you buy 4 cars a year. You might want to take the car over to Weissach and get them to get your codes and make sure you do in fact have a problem. And if they can't help you i'm sure Speedway will. Find out what parts you need and order them from the sponsor above. Get Stuart at Weissach to install them.

Good Luck

A couple thoughts, or options/alternatives:

1)get a hold of or purchase Durametric software/obd cable and fix it yourself. If you donate to renntech you'll get access to the tsbs which can tell you a world of info. You might ask the dealer what code popped up, or what is being repaired for 1k.

2) There is also a Porsche dealer right across the boarder in Bellingham(Roger Jobs Porsche). Who knows , you might get better pricing there.

3) There are also factory workshop manual sets, which detail repair ops. I don't know if they are still available though. They are not exactly written for the novice though, and can be viewed as a tade cryptic.
