A PIC

funny you should mention it M1tch, ive written a guide for my website, and the only thing im not sure of is how to unclip the airbag connector.

I took my wheel to pieces the other day just for the hell of it, and to get pics for the guide! didnt want to go pulling the connectors too hard, just in case..... lol

 

[M1TCH]

lol well funny, I looked on your site for a guide on your site last night. but its not up yet then.

Clio G-B knows how to do it but his phone is off.

did you try seperating the plastic clips with screwdrivers and I pulled so hard on it, but it still dont come out but pushes in further :S what is that about?

lol you did what I've done, turned the steering wheel round so that you dont have to take the plastic surround off like giles told me to do.

 

[fUbAr]

yup, turned it round with the power steering before disconnecting the battery... its all im my guide.

i think this is right:

The little plastic connector that sits flush with the rear of the airbag comes off with a little persuasion from a flat headed screwdriver.... but its a bit daunting cos it doesnt look like it goes back on lol

 

[M1TCH]

yeah thats what I've done, first removed the stereo to get the code for it though lol

you mean the orange thing that goes into the back of the airbag, I dont think thats ment to be removed mate!

hears a close up pic of the little fucker!! PIC

 

[fUbAr]

ah, i see your problem.

you turned your wheel anti-clockwise, not clockwise.... :rasp:

 

[M1TCH]

lol ffs I really cant see how you unclip it!!

Giles made it sound so easy last night grrr

[fUbAr]

heh, well ive got horn wires to disconnect too

 

[M1TCH]

lol well the 172 wheel i got didnt come with airbag so gonna have to throw my one on there, glad I havent got those horn buttons to mess about with :rasp:

 

[fUbAr]

heh, having 3 horns is fun... its like having an orchestra in your car.

 

[M1TCH]

lol, I'm sure it is :S

cmon someone must know how

 

[lemonnobby]

yea there should be a little tab to pull up first and then ones thats up the whole plug should come out, the little tab is normally a bright colour

 

[M1TCH]

done it!! I'll let giles off he broke his phone yesterday....

bit annoyed that I spent ages trying to get the wrong thing off lol, the orange clip didnt look like it was ment to be removed as it said attention on the sticker above. then I didnt have the T50 bit so had to reconnect the batt and boot over to my mates workshop and do it there he's a piccy for ya fubs.

 

[fUbAr]

ah ha, crackin...

so it just pops off? and pops back on?

nothin else to do with it?

 

[M1TCH]

yeah peice of piss!!
