Hi, new here so hope I am posting in the correct area.
My 2007 w211 E320Cdi Estate has been involved in a head on collision. The drivers airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioner were discharged as expected, but I am bemused by some other occurences - namely, the drivers seat squab seems to have moved forwards and some webbing is visible where the seat squab meets the seat back, also both the rear seatbelts (though not occupied or in use at the time of the crash) are pulled tight as if they too have some kind of tensioner applied to them.
My question is does anyone have knowledge of the W211 airbag/seatbelt set up and could tell me what will need replacing to make this system safe for the future after the front of the car is repaired.
Clearly, the drivers airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner will have to be replaced, but will the drivers seat squab return to it's normal position when the tensioner is replaced or are other parts required?
What about the airbag control unit, does that need replacing or can it be reset? (where is it located)
Is there a separate crash sensor that will need to be replaced or reset? (if so, where is that located)
What about those rear seatbelts, can they be reset or do they also need to be replaced?
Would be grateful for an advice/hints on these issues
