mercedes e320 w211 pre facelift airbag deployment

[steveg82]

Hi guys I wonder if any one can advise, I have a e320 cdi 55 plate pre facelift which unfortunately was involved in accident, which has caused drivers airbag to be deployed.

my question Is , what is the process in order to repair the car, can I purchase a second hand airbag from any pre facelift w211 and just replace, how would I turn the srs light off etc?

from a little reading in advance im not sure its so simple, I read that seatbelts need replacing etc etc,

what im looking for is can anyone offer any advice before I decide to put the car back on the road or just buy another w211.

kind regards

steve

The drivers bag can be replaced with a second hand unit ,the front and rear belts will need changing as well ,the existing belts will be locked , again second hand will do but they need to be from a pre face lift car . The air bag control module may be re useable , I have been able for reset them in the past , but may need replacing . This will have to be gotten new them as its chassis coded to the cars VIN number
