Hello all,

Hope you are all well. Ironically I am not here often as not much goes wrong the the QQ, until now.

Airbag light keeps coming on for the last few weeks now, tried the reset with the ignition etc but still comes back on.

Local garage have looked at it on their specialist machine.

Apparently a new Squib is required but I’ve been quoted around £600 for just the part. Even if labour were to be included this seems really high?

My understanding was it’s the mechanism behind the steering wheel cover and a simple plug swap replacement?

Really appreciate your thoughts as I feel like I’m paying over the odds for this new part to be delivered from Europe?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the term "squib" - do you mean the airbag itself?

Ahha! We refer to that as the "clock spring" on here. Quite a few people have replaced these - check out the other topics.

I don't know how much Nissan ones cost but aftermarket are very reasonable - e.g. £30 at https://www.citycarparts.co.uk/airbag-c ... 4467-p.asp. You'd need to check compatibility carefully if doing it yourself, but I'd have thought any garage could order and do it for you?

Comments from others please?

Hi gloucester, many thanks for your reply and comments.

I think i have managed to get the official PN - B5567JD00A

Which is availble directly from Nissan. Albiet £170 it is practially the same part as you have listed.

I am just trying to clear up with the garage the exact part number they are after as I do not want to assume its more than just this part.

But straight away it has gone from a potential £600 down to £170 (official) or £29.95 (OEM) which is simply crazy.....

It is a garage i highly trust too....

What if its the airbag part of the steering wheel too maybe?

Many thanks

They might have quoted you for the airbag itself or the complete assembly. They don't do much testing or diagnosis these days - just replace the whole thing.

Hi gloucester,

Many thanks again for the reply. I am assuming you mean this complete assembly?

If it is the case of the whole, assembly that is a bit more of a pill i could swallow so to speak.

Many thanks

There are two IIRC. One for the cars with cruise control etc. another for the ones without. You can tell by taking yours off which one you would need.

I have a J10 with cruise control and the squib has two cables (orange+yellow). You can get a good deal off eBay.
