Fiat Strada/Punto Airbag query ?
 

My son has a smallish Fiat, I think a Strada or Punto, about 5 yrs old. The airbag warning light came on so he popped into his local Fiat dealer in Plymouth to be told " New air bag unit required £400 + a morning to Fit ." Car was plugged into diagnostic unit.
If that is what the diagnostic reads then I presume that is correct and there is no option but to replace ? As I have told him that I will pay ( he doesn't earn much ) I just want to be sure that I am not being taken for a ride !!! Does that seem about right for an airbag unit ?

Thanks

Take it to a decent Fiat independant dealer, my Alfa had two similar warnings, a independant resoldered the connections (they rattle loose) and charged £50, when the stealer want £000's.
