My Airbag light remains on after it's initial test sequence my main Seat Dealer tells me I need a new clock spring @ a cost of
£100+ and 1 hours Labour all in all with VAT circa £185 ouch.
Car is a Seat Cordoba 1999 anyone had any experience of changing/repairing clock spring and if I do it myself will the
ECU/Controller for airbag need reseting.
I know that Practical Mechanics are doing an article on this very subject next month but this cuts it a bit fine for my MOT.

Regardless of whether it's MOTable or not I still wouldn't like to have no working airbag, the car will have been designed with an airbag in mind, not having one may have a nasty effect on safety...
It's not quite the same, but my airbag clock spring used to squeek on my MK3 Fiesta, the main dealers ony charged £10 to remove the steering wheel and lubricate the sring. If it's that easy to do the job I can't see how they can charge hundreds to replace it...
