I have a 325TDS touring c1997 (UK P reg) with the airbag light on.
The fault shows as the firing circuit for the passenger seat belt tensioner.
I believe these cars we the subject of a recall for the wiring under the
seat.
This involved swapping a short piece of loom with a more robust plug.
Does anyone know how to distinguish before and after so I can figure if this
car has been done or needs doing.
Thanks

I am not aware of this recall, but you can take your VIN to the local
dealership and they can tell you if the recall has been performed, or not.
This would represent a serious safety issue, so I can't imagne that BMW will
with hold the fact that a recall has been issued, or that it has been
applied to your car.

You can check to see what TSB's have been issued for the car at:

The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better, so I installed RedHat.
