Airbag - driver
Hey guys
If i remove the factory steering wheel with airbag and replace it with an aftermarket wheel, will that trigger an airbag warning light? I thought someone would have tried this and know the answer cheers

The answer is Yes.
And it's illegal.

Yeah, your car will be unroadworthy. If it didn't come out with an airbag, you would be able to change the steering wheel. If the car came out with an airbag, it is illegal to put an aftermarket steering wheel on or replace with a steering wheel without an airbag.
Including car parts (VS, VT, VX, VY, WH etc), my WH Statesman, and other things listed on eBay.
Looks like Im retrimming the leather
Just be careful if you ever do play around with those air bags... I have seen a few horror accidents when i have turned up to an MVA and the airbags havent gone off until after we get there and start the rescue. Have even been in the shed when a friend was removing his steering wheel and had a pair of pliers in his hand which was resting on the seat... He leant under the wheel and yanked on a wire which set off the airbag, hit his hand with the pliers in it and the pliers smashed straight thru his rear windscreen...
But ^^^ are right. To my knowledge it is illegal in all states... which is kinda weird since they cant really agree on anything

Just outta curiosity which clubby steering wheel do you have on it?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried
That thought did cross my mind... CheersJust be careful if you ever do play around with those air bags...

Its not the desire to remove the airbag. Its the desire to have a nice wheel. Now, go make a cup of tea...
New GMH wheel?
Leather (worn) rimmed stocker, like u would get on a calais or statey id say

Im sorry, my mistake.
People like you I would encouraged to remove their airbags, it's good for the human gene pool.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
Do you mean encourage? If youre going to be a smart arse, you first need to be smart. You've got the other half covered.

To the OP, you are complete idiot for replacing your steering wheel with one without an airbag. Although that has already been said to you multiple times, so I guess the technical word for you is SLOW!
If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
