Spray the sponge black and it would be great :cheesy: Good find, hopefully the new com2000 i put into the car in 2010 will last a few more years.

I did the sponge fix as a temp fix on mine. In the way of temp fixes its now been through 2 mot's like it. I managed to find some dark grey sponge, and its almost invisible. I did darken it a bit with a felt tip pen. And i'm £140ish better off.

The man who had the 406 before me used newspaper crudely painted black and stuffed in. Worked for about a day after I bought it.

Com2000 is the proper fix. £140 for the part and an afternoon swearing at the airbag release.

He sounds like an old ICT teacher from school, he was from Ballymena i think.

An afternoon swearing at the airbag release, i can never get the fecker off.

FWIW I heard the same.

Just wondering, is there a specific service interval for changing the sponge, or does it depend on grade of sponge and operating conditions?

(Be handy to know should mine ever decide to join the limp indicator brigade). :P

I'm bored now too.

Fair point.

I did masses of research on DPF's a year or two back and in doing so, came across much to support trem1's observations, but you're right, it's not morally acceptable to take this as true without the facts / personal experience.

I guess most of us take the stuff on forums with a pinch of salt, but tend to accept that which you hear independently from multiple sources.
