Airbag light reset and replacement expansion tank

ERX · Post by **ERX** » Sun Sep 01, 2019 2:34 pm

So I accidentally set off my airbag light the other day by reconnecting the battery while the seat was unplugged and I'm wondering what's the best/cheapest way to turn the light off. I bought a B800 tool but it doesn't seem to work on my car which is an 03 3.0i.

I also just wanted to change my coolant expansion tank to prevent any issues in the future, and I was wondering what some reliable options are in terms of non-OEM ones as the OEM one costs £91 according to my local dealer!

Any advice appreciated

Confirm B800 tool won't work - also bought one

but at least they're cheap.

Get Inpa set up on an old laptop - steep learning curve and you'll need a £12 cable from Ebay but I've used it a few times on mine now.

Other than that any dealer will switch the light off for a fee unless you can persuade them to do it as a freebie.

C110+ scanner from Amazon is cheapest if you want it to be intuitive.

The C310+ is slightly more money and offers some additional functionality

Either will work to reset your airbag light.

It might be worth saying where you are as someone on here local to you may have one.

I bought a C110+ last year, but haven't had to use it yet luckily!

But if you are anywhere near Sandhurst, Berkshire you'd be welcome to have a play with it.

Might be someone near you that has Carly that can reset it for you.

I'd be happy to reset the light for you using DIS/INPA. I'll be passing by on the m1 on 20th and 22nd this month if you haven't had the light reset by then.

I fitted a Hella expansion tank about a year ago. Covering around 10k miles without any issues. They usually go for around £40 (using discount codes) on GSF.

That'd be awesome mate, thanks. I'll drop you a PM. Sorry for the late response, I don't seem to get any notifications on here.

Hey ERX, I've replied to your PM but it's been stuck in the outbox. Your inbox may be full?

If you are fitting it yourself go with a BMW bottle. They slot straight on, aftermarket ones are often a pain to get them to fit on properly.
