How to Remove the Main Airbag of the New Passat?
1 Answers
Turn off the ignition key. If you proceed with the removal without turning it off, the airbag may accidentally deploy, or error codes may be generated, causing the ECU to malfunction. There are two bolts on the back cover of the steering wheel. Remove these bolts and gently lift the cover. Disconnect the clock spring connector attached to the generator. Generally, the connector has a locking mechanism—some require pressing to release, while others need to be pulled out. Unclip the yellow safety latch behind the airbag, then pull out the airbag connector to remove the airbag.
