Fault Codes - What Do These Mean?

Can anyone help me to translate the following fault codes into what I need to fix please?

They have recently been downloaded from my 318i SE (June 2003).

Engine

27C3 Thermical oil level sensor

Airbag

50 Supply voltage

70 Seat occupancy sendor (x2)

51 Fault lamp (AWL)

Airbag

5E1F VIN different

5E16 CAN instrumentation

5DF4 System voltage > 9 volts

5DF7 CAN control module

Instrument Panel

F5 CAN-bus to ASC control unit

F4 CAN-bus faulty

87 K-bus

CE Ambient air temp

There is an airbag warning light on the dash board (probably passenger seat sensor problem) and I know I have an intermittent problem with the rear lights. i recently had the oil warning light come on but this has now gone out as I have topped up the engine oil. The air conditioning does not work (no cold air output). I regularly get the brake warning light and 2 yellow tell tale lights for the ABS coming on together and when this happens the radio crackles/volume reduces and the temperature display goes off momentarily (all happens for 2-5 seconds). So I knowI I have an air bag fault, a rear light fault but I wonder if the other problems are connected to either a faulty temperature sensor and/or electrical problems with the instrument panel/dash board.

Can anyone help - before I have to spend money getting a garage (dare I say even BMW dealer) to help??!

Thanks, Sue.

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
