BSM-problems 407

[NobbeA]

Hello,
so my BSM has failed on my 2005 407 with 136 hp petrol 2-litre engine. I have purchased a second hand unit so the car runs great now,
but i would rather find a brand new one, wich seems impossible since they don't make them anymore.
So my question is: can i replace it with another unit?
The original numbers are: 6500CG BSM-L02-00, 9656086180 and S118983002 J.
Thanks in advance.

These are specific parts depending on build date. They need to communicate with the BSI, so if you have a correct second hand one, then stick to it. Replacing it with another part may cause issues.

Ok,
thanks for the answer!
I wondered because i found a german site that says number 9807028580 would do.

Here's the part number you listed - as you can see your part is for cars to build date 10669 (21/01/2006) and the part number your seller has listed is shown for later models from build date 11189 (28/06/2007).

You can certainly try it, but these also have electronic cards in that talk to the network - so hard to say - you may be ok, but we can't say for sure as we usually stick to the recommended parts for the vehicle and build date.

Thank you!
I think it's better to wait until the BSM that's in now breaks down until i take a chance on the other one. The car doesn't even have 60.000 miles on the clock, so i guess it will run for a few years more.
Strange, never had problems with spare-parts when i drove Volvo!
