Air bag light?
« on: 25 July 2012, 21:31 »
Hey guys! New to this forum so sorry if I'm soon this wrong. Just got a 1.6 16v golf. I wanted to change the steering wheel to a gti steering wheel or an r32 wheel. Two questions. Will they actually fit to my car or do I need to get some spacers? And I wanted the airbag to work still with the new wheel but keep the light out at the same time. Many thanks helpful comments will
Be repped :) Lanf

you need the airbag that fits the three spoke wheel as well, I'm guessing you have the four spoke wheel?

Yeah I do. The steering wheel I found has the air bag with it.

That should be fine for a straight swap then. Would of thought the connections are the same for the air bag.

just make sure you disconnect the battery before removing the wheel / airbag otherwise you will get the airbag light stuck on
