Airbag steering wheel, removing and
installing
Removing
- Remove airbag unit. Page 48-7
- Remove trim below steering column switch. Note: - Separate connector (arrow). (Pull foam rubber
sleeve off connector, if installed).
- Remove nut and pull steering wheel off steering
column. After pulling steering wheel off, turn Airbag Spiral
Spring slightly so that the wire (arrow) faces
downward. (Hold steering wheel in installation
position). The spring then locates and is prevented
from turning.
If this step is not performed or if the spring is tufted in
an uncontrolled manner, it can lead to the spring
being overstressed at full lock, causing irreparable
damage. Page 8 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1
