Hello.
Today I continued to work on Coupe and emerged a few questions:
1. LE models have a switch to turn off the passenger airbag? On the dashboard is blinking an orange light (second from left to right)?
In the pictures you can see how people in Germany solved the problem with flashing orange light!
2. In Coupe found code card with 13 digits. This card is for the alarm, or.....?
<moderator> Sorry Kaci, there's a proper place for parts wanted.

If the light flashes there is probably a problem with the air bag. I think it's a common fault to do with the sensor. Does it flash with the passenger air bag switched on or off confused It was an option to have the switch or not wink
The blue code card is the key code for your Meta alrm so that it can be worked on if there is a fault or it needs to be re-coded. They're pretty rubbish and the buttons melt on the fobs. When and if you can replace it smile

Several hours of work on Coupe and results you can see from the pictures! I found the switch for passenger airbag. It is the off position and if the sticker on the dashboard because someone has not looked for switch...... I found the reason for a lot of smoke (I bought a Coupe with a diagnosis from Germany - blown head gasket) broken shaft of the turbocharger! If the forum would be useful, on Saturday I will make detailed pictures for the replacement of timing belt and repair of turbo.

From today, the engine is with new timing belt, valve cover (from my Bravo) and fitted new aluminum bottom pulley with guard. These days I will clean the engine and install it back.

Coupe is already registered in Bulgaria.
Weekends, traveled with him around 300 miles.
There have several new electrical problems:
1. Heater fan speed varies continuously and can not be stopped.
2. When open the door, always light bulb for reading(fenced)
click to enlarge
3. Indicator for passenger airbag continues to blink.
In testing, shows a strange error to me!
click to enlarge
There is also a "mechanical" problem:
My girlfriend can not drive a Coupe. She was asked to leave the driver's seat almost immediately! This keep the paint on bonnet and bumper.
click to enlarge
Now I'm sure in this car has some magic.
I can already tell that I am one of you.
I put some pictures after washing.
