Sad day. Scrapping my C5

Post by boristhespie »

My second C5 which I've had since new is about to be torn to bits. Really upset. I'm that way inclined. Left it parked up as it had a power problem tht garage couldn't suss. My lexia said mass flow indicator fault. Unfortunately the car sat for best part of year off the road. Initially I ran it but illness meant tjis too back seat.

Anyway the front right caliper is seized and one of the wheel nuts sheared off. So the car has this. It still lacks power and I feel I have little choice but to scrap as it would cost too much to put right. 135,ooo miles isn't a lot but should have sorted it and certainly not have left it sitting.

My other c5 has airbag warning. How easy to get units out of old car?

Sad day. Still great car. Better nick than existing otherwise.

That is unfortunate for it.

Is the airbag warning for the passenger side? It's usually just a bad/dirty connection under the passenger side floor carpet

Not sure what side. Have looked at connections under carpet which are like new but not sure what side. Just a warning light.
