Airbag Clockspring Fault.

Had my airbag light start flashing a few days ago, and I thought it might have been the connectors for the anti-submarine ram on the passenger seat again.. I fixed that one by soldering the wires into the connectors for it.

Anyway, turns out it is a drivers airbag module fault. A bit of research told me it is likely to be the airbag clock spring, so I pulled that out yesterday and confirmed one of the 2 conductors for the airbag goes high resistance at certain angles as I turn the clockspring.

I have looked up epc-data for a part number, but it gives several, and I am not sure which one is correct.

There is also this post from PN-Mad from last year which shows a part number that matches one of the numbers listed on epc-data.

However, I can only assume that there is differences depending on the presence of VDC on the car, as the steering angle sensor is included with the unit.

Is anyone able to confirm the correct part number for a 2005 V35 sedan with VDC? Or even better. have a near new unit they want to sell?

These are the part numbers from epc.

25567-7W025 - A$221 (this one is listed in the link above)

B5567-CF40A - A$197

25567-AL525 - A$198 (or A$98 if I am happy to pay for freight from UAE and wait for it to arrive)
