steering wheel

[The Big Yin]

How easy it is to replace ? DIY or dealer

I have a 99 clio with airbag and wondered if this will affect my insurance

 

[The Big Yin]

Anyone ?

Wheres Fred when you need him sure he knows

 

[CzoneClio]

I got somebody else to fit mine as I didnt want the airbag exploding in my face mid way through, the fact that I changed to a wheel with no air bag didnt affect my premium at all

Its a DIY fit and hopefully easy as Ill be doing mine soon! Youll have to ring the insurance co do double check as everyone seems to be differnet

Let me know how you get on John - how easy it is

What wheel you going for ?

 

[Djw John]

Ive got a 172 wheel for it, been sitting gathering dust in my room, got it to finish the interior.

You decided on one yet?

easy to change but you need to fit a resistor across the airbag connectors or your light will come on.

99 clio so thats a clio 2 phase 1 isnt it?. think clio 2 phase 1 has the single airbag so 1 connector. its the phase 2 with the double volume bag which has two connectors.

I quite like Freds isotta vallenlunga (i know spelling) where do you get resistors from and what do you have to do to disable the airbag before taking the wheel off nobody has mentioned how to do it just that its easy

changing the steering wheel for a non-airbag unit is easy.

1. Quit the airbag fuse. A 10 min wait is recommended (airbags are designed to ignite at low voltage)

2. Lock the steering wheel at 90º and use a screwdriver or similar with the two metal locks on the back of steering wheel.

3. Extract the airbag, disconnecting the 3 contact cables : 2 for airbag, 1 for horn

4. Now you can quit the steering wheel using the T40 torx, and put the new hub and steering wheel (momo rules!)

5. Place a 2.5 ohm resistor in each airbag cable. This makes the cPU think airbag is OK. Otherwise, ALL airbags and pretensioners refuse to co-operate

6. Remember to return the airbag fuse !

7. Be careful with the removed airbag. Its a charged bomb !

sorry for my english; Im spanish
