Steering wheel airbag removal
Has anyone removed the the airbag / horn from the steering wheel?

Had a look on the workshop manual and it says to make a tool to unhook it form the back.

I know to disconnect the battery and wait at least 30 minutes.

How-to Remove Airbag Steering Wheel & Buttons

[Image: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/Images/rusty/How...heel/1.JPG]

First thing we need to do is disconnect the battery negative cable, so open bonnet and remove negative cover if fitted then using a 10mm spanner or socket undo and remove the terminal and move it out of the way

Airbag Light
Hi All,

Okay, just had something brought to my attention about the airbag light which would normally be on the dashboard next to where the hazard button is. I'm sure that I used to have a light which lit up and showed something about the airbag being enabled...Vauxhall also said that I should be seeing one...but it's not lit up now and i'm sure it used to be...Does anyone know what I mean and also know if it should or shouldn't be lit up...?

Thanks

Replace steering wheel airbag
Hi all.

Currently in the process of rebadging my GTC to Opel blitz from the griffin.

The steering wheel I found out however is not just a case of replacing the plastic badge, but the airbag.  Dealer want around £500 for a new one.

Was gonna just not bother (or get a sticker!), but then I found this:

Airbag Warning Message
Hi All

So as my local mechanics are hopeless and getting them to do work is like pulling teeth I thought I'd see if anyone on here knew anything about an error I'm getting.

It pops up randomly 2 to 3 times per one hour journey and sometimes stays in for 30 mins before going off. The dash says this:

The error message via OBD says this:

How-to disassemble airbag
[Image: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w301/...5fce57.jpg]



[align=center]I decided to make this how-to in case someone wants to change steering wheel badge or replace it with a new one if damaged. You don't have to buy a new airbag, you just need to replace the front plastic cover. Swapped covers a month ago and it is a pretty easy job. The hardest part is to source the plastic cover.

Ok, first remove airbag. For removing airbag see here: [url=https://www.vxoc.org.uk/foru
