C4 2007 BSM failure

Unread post by calebzzz »

Hi

I owe the car for 12 years, recently it shows check engine with coil circiut error. I have replaced the coil with little effect. Two weeks later car won't start with multiple faults: injectors,fuel pump, coil circuit. The only other fault I had was poor AC blower performance poor and ventilation flaps don't seem to react to control but Im not sure this is relevant.
Garage diagnosed faulty BSM and I need to find one second hand because they stopped making them.
My BSM is marked BSM-L11-00 9661682980

Question 1: Can I use different BSM, guy tells me it will work BSM-L02-00 9656086180?
Question 2: Should I investiage for reason of fault or can they just break on their own?

The numbers dont necessarily need to be an exact match, if you get one of the same age & spec as your car it should be ok.
As for the failures, one way is water ingress if the cover has not been clipped on correctly but inside there are a bunch of fixed in relays that can fail over time just like any other external relay.
