filtee 0 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 You'll need a 6 or 7 mm allen key to undo the 2 bolts behind the airbag. Take this off and disconect it. Big nut holds the wheel on. Refit the new one in reverse order. Airbag light will need resetting (i think). Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 yep you'll need to reset the airbag light with VAGCOM - whole thing is a 10min job Link to post Share on other sites

MJ Vr6 79 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 As long as Ignition is not switched on whilst removing and refitting off wheel, no Airbag light will become present over change of wheel. Link to post Share on other sites

As far as i am aware as soon as the plug for the airbag is disconnected it will trigger the light to come on and require a reset to remove it. Link to post Share on other sites
