airbags

Hi looking for some advice, had a minor bump yesterday resulting in a shunt breaking a headlight and damaging the guys bumper, trouble is the shunt caused the airbags to go off on the dash and steering wheel, insurance we’re looking to write it off but we told them wewere covering our own damage...

Hi! I wonder if anyone here can help me. Got in a bit of a tip recently, no engine damage but the airbags went off. I'm just trying to compile a list of what parts I need (there's an identical mk2 for breaking close to me that I can gut) I'll need a bumper, bonnet, wing, headlamp, that's all...

Thought i post up my experience as i couldn't find a model specific response for my needs Of dealing with a change of seats and no airbag required I have a MK2 Cupra 240 and after some trials you need a 3.5 ohm 0.5 W +/- 5% Resister. Mine actually measured at 3.7 ohms when installed (varience...

Early start this morning, drove to Volkswagen Racing in Milton Keynes (42.2mpg) to let them see if they could switch off the side airbags on my Cupra so the new seats could go in. They were flat out building up racing Leons, and there were a few other interesting cars there inc 2 KTM X-bows...

Hi folks, I wondered if you could help at all. I know this isnt really a VW forum but as most of the parts are the same and the testing software is the same I wondered if you could help My brother has recently just passed his test and had the immense luck of managing to pick up a mk4 golf...

OK bit of a problem, I'm using the Cordy and it has no rear seats, but I may have to pick up my 6month old son from nursery because my wife can't get there due to the weather again. Now I can't put his seat in the passenger front due to the airbag so need to disable this. Is there anyway to...

Ive got a Little airbag light on the dash and with it turned on the ''Air Back Tab'' on the dash flashes.. We've used vagcom and found nothing but when we Scanned the Airbag section a warning comes up sayin scanning this controller can Damaged the Units them selfs.. It does give a...

does anyone know if the same airbag is used on both the wheel with buttons (MFSW) and the one without buttons? Thanks

Hi, I am currently replacing the entire airbag kit for my Ibiza mk4. Upon connecting the yellow plug to the passenger airbag (located behind the dashboard, I have noticed an additional part of the wiring loom (with another different shaped yellow plug) branching out close to the one I've just...

I have just fixed my leaky Leon using the DIY guide posted by andy_tech, thread title: Water leak into footwell - dodgy seal info and DIY repair guide, which was most useful. Now I have to try and dry out the soggy underlay under the carpet. I have done this before but when I took out the front...

My neice is over from Sweden for the weekend & I noticed My FR has airbags for the rear seats. Do you need to turn these off when fitting a childs seat or is it ok ? I know the passenger airbag can be turned off.

I'm presuming I can only fit the Nomad A pillar pod if I don't have airbags, so how do I know? Is there a special code on the bootsticker? Can I tell by looking at the A pillar? Need to get a pillar pod ASAP as my gauge is currently velcroed to my dash binnacle and is doing my head in (it...

I seem to recall that curtain airbags were an option on Cupra TDIs - am I right ? I haven't seen them mentioned on any used cars I've seen adverts for. Or did they just become standard on Ibizas anyway ?

possible?safe to do? i have seen a rather mint fr leon breaking(full frontal,rear suspension shot too) the interior looks as new,pretty sure it will fit into the octavia(fronts anyway) but obviously concerned about the airbags deploying for no reason. the vrs doesn't have them at standard...

I had to transport a few things in the beeza the other day so i took out the passenger seat which ment i had to disconnect the airbag cable. Now ive connected everything together but the airbag light is still lit up on the dash...is there any way to reset the system so that the light goes off...

After seeing an article on the internet about people not replacing airbags correctly and just fitting covers with a bit of glue after an accident it got me worried. Also airbag "simulators" can be used to trick the light on the dash. The fact the previous owner let me drive over 100 miles on two...
