Toyota Trouble

T.F.S.B.I.G.W.S.

My Toyota Aygo went in for its fourth year service yesterday and I asked Toyotaworld to look at a flashing light on the dashboard - the airbag warning light.
Their diagnosis is that it needs a new Airbag ECU - £198 for supply and installation. They charged £34 (+ VAT) for the diagnosis as it, apparently, took half an hour (or part thereof I suppose) to investigate. In many years of motoring I have not been charged for such a diagnosis when completed with a service.
The Airbag ECU is not a wear and tear part and should surely last a lot longer than four years.
Has anyone had an Airbag ECU replaced - either in the Aygo or the equivalent Citroen or Peugot models?

you asked them to check something outside of the service shedule the charge is normal.

try asking toyota for a goodwill gesture (with the recent bad press you never know)
