changing airbag slip ring
my airbag light is on all the time the ignition is on.
Took it to vw and they said the fault was the slip ring in the driver side airbag. they want £90 for the part and £97 to fit it I've read on some sites that the problem can sometimes be solved by lubricating the ring or resitting it - anyone know somewhere that has clear instructions on how to do this? I replaced the combination switch a few months agon and the airbag light problem started about a month or so after that is the slip ring on the back of the steering wheel? the, what looks like, a solid copper/brass ring which connects to a connector on the steering column? thanks for any help passat 2 auto m reg |

changing airbag slip ring
You are in the wrong group. Please pay attention to what is discussed in the forum before posting (goes with all online forums). we talk exclusively about the older, aircooled Volkswagens. You have a watercooled model, therefore you need to ask your questions in the watercooled group. rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled Jan Bodhran wrote: > my airbag light is on all the time the ignition is on. > Took it to vw and they said the fault was the slip ring in the driver > side airbag. they want £90 for the part and £97 to fit it > I've read on some sites that the problem can sometimes be solved by > lubricating the ring or resitting it - anyone know somewhere that has > clear instructions on how to do this? > I replaced the combination switch a few months agon and the airbag > light problem started about a month or so after that > is the slip ring on the back of the steering wheel? the, what looks > like, a solid copper/brass ring which connects to a connector on the > steering column? > > thanks for any help > > passat 2 auto m reg > -- -------------------------------- Beer is made by fermentation caused by bacteria feeding on yeast cells and then defecating.
