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
