Today i took my car to a PEU dealer in Malta to fix the flashing light and i was shocked by the news that i had to pay Eur 528 to repair it. Basically they are saying that they diagnosed the problem to be that the car had an accident (i bought it second hand so i do not know the real history but it does not look so) and the seatbelts were trigged and thus both seatbelts + the ECU (must be the electronic part) must be changed.
I'm confused about what to do cause on the one hand i can't trust the previous owner saying that the car was never involved in an accident whilst on the other hand i'm skeptical about the diagnosis results.
Is there a way i can manually / visually check some things ? Do you still recommend that i should eliminate the connector under the seat ?
Your advice is much appreciated.....
