#1: Is replacing the comms unit a DIY job? Author: chris_h, Location: ukPosted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 2:44 am ---- My indicator is a little bit loose, so when indicating left it sometimes doesn't come on unill I wiggle it forward to make the electrical connection.
How easy is it to get my hands on a new comms unit and replace it myself? My car is a 2003 look 1.1, so im sure there is no ESP on it.
also, i really don't want the air bag taking my head off!

I'm sure you can do it with out removing the steering wheel too
Either way, it's an easy job. Just a few screws and a clip for the plug.

What use is this information for a MULTIPLEXED 206
As for diy replacement of a com, that depends on you skill level with tools.
For me its a p**s easy job i've done several times over the years, for others on here it wont be easy.

No they can't, it's a complete unit.

But yes I have some skill with tools, I know the battery has to be disconnected, but what about the air bag...how do I stop this from taking my face off?
Yes it is multiplexed, round indicator stalks. Has anyone got any experience on getting these things from a scarp yard?

Think it can be done in 12 including getting the car in the workshop.
