c4mbl 1 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 do a search on the forum mate, there has been numerous people asking this over the last wee while.Very easy job though, just a couple of screws and a big (26mm i think) nut that holds the wheel on.

Chrisdut 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 just take the keys out of the ign before you remove the plug off the back of airbag, no need to do anything elseif you want to be extra careful the take the neg lead off the battery first Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 right....first ring awesome and get the resistor for your airbag, its a tenner if that, as said turn ignition off, set wheels straight prior to this though! unbolt 2 6mm allen keys form airbag from behind steering wheel, lift off and unbolt centre nut on wheel, undo the 2 hidden screws in the lower steering cowl, undo the airbag ribbon, its a small yellow connector on the end of the ribbon part of the airbag just under the steering columb, fit the resistor which is a simple push fit and only goes one way so you cant get it wrong, tuck this back under the columb, the resistor just makes the vehicle still think its attached so your original airbag and the light functions as normal, tuck the ribbon down into the cowling hood out of the way carefully, place airbag outside the car nowhere near anything electrical!!! refit your stering under cowl, fit on your new hub and any needed horn ring stuff in correct position, be carefull not to force it you can damage the indicator cancel parts!! (experience!) offer the wheel up and attatch the horn wire to the horn push and assemble it roughly, fit the horn push wire and test the horns operation with the ignition swithched on REMEMBER DO NOT TURN IGNITION ON UNTILL THE RESISTOR IS FITTED THOUGH! or you will have to have the airbag coded out at vw or your light will remain on permanantly, if horn works yippeee, fit all the bolts on the centre of the horn push that hold the wheel to the hub, then test drive to see if its aligned properly!!! if not some minor adjustments sort it easily, hope this helps.

kie_dub 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 You dont need to get a resistor or anything like that ive just changed mine, just disconnect the battery, take out the 2 small bolts out either side of the back of the steering wheel, then undo the big nut in the middle of the wheel and take the whole thing off. then simply line up the new one and put the big nut back on. connect the battery and turn ignition on and check horn, indictors and that indicators cancel... job done!!!

So you'lle be fine as long as you get roud to doing that before your'e next m.o.t. Link to post Share on other sites
