Im again in need of a drivers side seatbelt pretensioner with all the wiring under the seat. This includes the wires on the pretensioner and the wires that go to the yellow plug. It needs to come of a prefacelift and needs to have a wire that goes inside the stalk. If you have one please PM me with a photo just to make sure it's the right one. This is the 3rd time and still haven't got the right one lol. I will upload a photo tomorrow of the type of one i need. It's for a 1998 prefacelift 328i e46 sedan. Thanks, Jamie

PM'd. If you didnt recieve it let me know, think im having some problems with it. Thanks, Jamie

Bump, still need one...

PM'd

Hi, I'm in need of a good e46 seatbelt pretensioner for the drivers seat. My mechanic tells me it needs to have the wire going into the stalk and i think it has to come from a prefacelift. I don't have a number to go off so might have to upload a photo of it. It must have the wire going into the stalk. Preferably in wellington as I don't think you can ship these but could be wrong. Thanks, Jamie

The first time I didn't but I did the second time

Thanks for the replies, so I swapped both pretensioners from my old seats onto the new seats so now all wired perfect, cleared the code using the b800 reset tool and was all good, the light went off (took ages, still don't really know how to use it. Code comes up in the FA section, click enter and does nothing. Nothing comes up in clear codes. After clicking enter for ages, it eventually goes) So took it for a drive and was fine. 3 minutes into it the airbag light comes back on. Scanned it and now has fault code 01 01 - control unit fault - a/d converter. What have I done to it? Everything is plugged in and haven't been near the control unit. Starting to frustrate me heaps!

Thanks for the reply, I think they came from a 2001 e46 and they are both electric although the cloth ones has the memory button. They both have a large yellow connector but on the leather there is a seperate small yellow connector that goes to the pretensioner whereas on the cloth, there isn't. The tensioner wire goes into the big yellow main plug. Bit confusing to right haha

Ive searched and searched but can't really get a clear answer, I've upgraded the seats in my 99 E46 328i sedan from cloth to leather. On the leather seats, the seatbelt pretensioner has a seperate yellow plug where as on the old seats, the pretensioner wiring goes into the main plug. So the problem is that I have no where to plug the yellow plug into which causes my airbag light to go on. How do I sort this? I've got a airbag reset tool too and it just says the passenger side but I'm pretty sure the drivers side is the same. Thanks, Jamie

Hi, no I don't think so. If no light came up on the dash would it still give a fault code?

Hi, I've had my e46 328i (tiptronic?) for about 3 months now and very happy with it. Recently it's got a problem with the gearbox. Everyone now and then when I overtake (at any speeds high or low) or drive with a bit of a heavy foot I can feel something slip then all of a sudden the car looses heaps of power and creates a serious shudder. The only way to get rid of it is to turn the car off and on then it's fine. No lights come up. When you bring it to a stop it does it at idle in any gear. Any ideas? I've taken it to my local mechanic but it does it when it wants too so it's very hard too explain it. Thanks, Jamie
