    I was able to fix a loose yellow airbag connector on my B5.5 Passat using your instructions and a $15 VCDS. It saved me a visit to the shop. Thanks so much!

      A M On my Passat I didn't need to remove the instrument cluster. I just pulled the wheel towards me and used a shorter screwdriver to pop the airbag locks.

Scared shitless about messing around with the airbag, but you made it a breeze and helped build my confidence. Managed to fix the problem after finding the part for $30! Lord only knows how much it would've. Cost if I brought it to the shop! Thanks again!

  • @brentshelton5780
    @brentshelton5780 9 лет назад +5

    For those who dont know most vw steering wheels you can periscope in and out while the lever is flipped down for the tilt. You dont even have to use it if you have a bit socket for a ratchet.

    • @Dramob
      @Dramob 9 лет назад

      Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that the steering wheel had the telescopic motion, that provides plenty of space to work without removing the instrument cluster.

    • @brentshelton5780

      I was able to pull my steering wheel off by using your tip and a 5" long 5mm hex key. Very easy when you spin the wheel to gain access. I saw a guy in another video remove the lower steering cover and work from underneath, a lot less obstructions under the wheel. I didn't need to do that though. It literally took about 10 seconds on each clip with the allen key and wheel pulled out.

    Thanks for this video. It helped me a lot! I guess to put the airbag back on is just a matter of push it back, nothing tricky with that.

  • @confabrication
    @confabrication 9 лет назад

    I was completely baffled as to how the airbag was held on - I could see no screw heads as expected when looking up the holes on the back of the wheel with a mirror, but this video made it abundantly clear that there were cunning little spring clips concealed in there which I would never have caught on to ! I might well have broken something before I saw this excellent video.

    You should check the airbag squib, sometimes they can be faulty. Google/Ebay search vw Squib and you will see what I mean if you don't know.

  • @liondriven9073
    @liondriven9073 10 лет назад +3

    thumb up. Does removing the speedometer helps for the airbag light not to light or is it just to ease the screwdriver access the back of the steeringwheel?

    • @martinsnarkevics1842
      @martinsnarkevics1842 5 лет назад

      Just ease. I did it without removing speedometer and if u dont turn ignition on, than airbag will not get fault. But on newer cars it will get anyway. Better remove battery cable.

  • @lastdayofjune
    @lastdayofjune 11 лет назад

    Thanks BMAC VAGS. Is the speedometer out required as well as airbag and wheel, when replacing the indicator/High beam stalk switch in a 2001 MKII Seat Cordoba? And is it important to disconnect the battery first for an hour? And finally, will the radio need the reset code afterwards?

    Why do you take the speedo cluster out? Just to show how??...cause it's not necessary. Also...It would help if you indicated what year VW this is, as the process is quite different from year to year.

  • @ahmadhasson

  • @ForeveReckless1
    @ForeveReckless1 9 лет назад +1

    I read inline that in a 99 very cabriolet there is foam or insulation that stops go he horn from honking in accident and that it can wear down. I think that happened in my car bc everytime I turn the wheel the horn honks. Did you find and insulation in the steering wheel the I could replace to fix this? Or if you had any other suggestions please let me know thanks

  •  4 года назад

    Hi. Thanks for sharing the video. I would like to ask you a problem that I have in my Golf 4 of 99, it is electric, the audible alarm of the position lights does not work for me (it worked, then no, later yes and now it does not) the open door lights do not light, the remote It goes badly enough (sometimes it costs to open), the electric windows do badly (mind that they react). I changed the comfort switchboard (scrapping) and the interior lights that did not work worked for me, I fixed some cables in the trunk that made it short, I checked all the fuses and I no longer know where to pull (absolute despair) if you could advise me it would be GREAT help, thank you very much in advance.

  • @jkjerome1
    @jkjerome1 10 лет назад

    Not sure this is right cos not got the tool and not tried it yet, but FWIW a couple of people on VW forums said the right tool for undoing that central steering wheel nut is a "12mm triple square", though someone else also used the tool featured in this video and it worked.

    • @jkjerome1
      @jkjerome1 9 лет назад

      jkjerome1 Just to confirm I bought a Torx T55 and it worked fine for removing and tightening up the bolt. I used a metal tube for extra leverage when tightening. BUT ideally you should use a torque wrench to ensure it's tightened up correctly, and only re-use the bolt 5 times before replacing it.
      More details here:

      Having just repeated this, I'd also add: when it came to releasing that triangular panel containing the airbag, one side was particularly tricky for some reason. Took a lot of buggering about with. So I took a look after and what should've been required in theory was to put a screwdriver(philips works best for me) dead perpendicular into the hole, keep it pushed firmly in and move the handle up until it forces the metal of the spring down and releases the catch. Surprisingly tricky for what it is. But try not to inseret the screwdriver at any angle other than perpendicular is my advice.
