Airbag light resistor £30 from vw, any alternatives???

[Leroy]

As above, going to fit my momo wheel, dont want the airbag light on, searched the site and got an answer and the part number, rang vw and its £30 odd???

The guy from vw said you only need the resistor but from them its the whole kit.

Has anyone got a cheap fix? maplins jobby or something???

Have you tried Momo

The later mk3 golf which has a drivers airbag  has a resister behind the glove box if it doesn't have a passenger airbag fitted. You will have to remove the glove box to be able to get to it, then its a case of just unplugging it

Hi, I used a 0.33 ohms resister I obtained from my old workplace and it did the trick. I think u can get them from maplins

I used a 3.3 ohms

cheers guys, is it just a case of plugging into the wire which feeds the airbag?

I fitted it to the connecter that connects to the slip ring in the cowling.
