V50 Electrics : - Service Airbag Urgent..... But Different!

Tigerwomble · Sep 14th, 2018, 07:08

Hi all. I have a 55 plate V50 2.0D.

Bought in may 2nd hand from a "dealer", not a main dealer, got it home all was good. A few days later i decided to go and get it washed. Once it had been washed i turned on the ignition to find the service bag urgent light on. Logically thinking, they must of knocked somthing whilst washing it. Took it to local garage who cleared the code not to be seen again. However a few weeks later i washed the car by hand making sure to be gentle whilst doing it, no jet wash just a sponge and hose. Got in the car turned on ignition and its back again??!! Now that is not a coincidence.

Any one have any ideas??

Hi
Is there a sensor at the front of the car to detect impact. Wondering if this sensor or its wiring could be allowing water in.
It is the only thing I can think of on the outside of the car related to that circuit.

A long shot, but are you cleaning the interior aswell when washing it? POssible you hoovered under the seats and knocked the SRS wires that goes there?
