Re: Power steering cooling pipe

If you did decide to replace it, I know a small company who would be able to make a new one for you. He'd need to reuse the fittings, and have the old pipe as a pattern.

Re: Airbag code 32

Clock spring indeed still has continuity. Guess I found the safing sensor too (image below), but couldn't get the connectors off, so I just cleaned the dust off on top :evil:. Any idea what size resistor is needed to simulate the airbag? If that wouldn't shut the light, then it has to be something ...

Re: Airbag code 32

Re: Airbag code 32

Just out of interest I had a look at the book and code 32 is the drivers side airbag, the circuit components of which are the clocksprings, safing sensor and the airbag itself, plus connectors.

Re: Need some serious help please

Well, I'm very pleased to tell you all that the Flying Machine is flying again. It was indeed the Crank Position sensor. If you take a look at the photo you can see that it was rubbing on the tension pulley for the alternator, but that wasn't what stopped the car. It was an open circuit fault on the...
