Been quite a while since my last post. I modded my motor from standard all in one go a few months ago. Now I've lived with it for a bit theres a few niggling points that need dealing with. As she's now at 90k near enough its service time so I'm gonna do it in a oner. I have removed the original steering wheel which had an airbag in it. I now have my Momo Race with raid snap off boss so I can detach my steering wheel for security. This has obviously lead to my airbag light illuminating. I now want to switch it off. I have been given a resistor which is supposed to be the same resistance as the airbag. It therefore needs to be reset I believe by volkswagen. Has anyone had this done if so how long does it take and any idea of price?
I tried to resolve it my self as I intend to run this car until it goes to the scrappers i.e. never sell it. I thought hey quick fix I'll remove the bulb. I therefore stripped the dials out and tried to do remove the needles so I could get the dial faces off to remove the bulb. I cannot no matter how hard I pull get the needles off. What am I doing wrong? I did however bend the dial faces up a bit and could not actually see any bulbs at all. Are there any underneath or am I wasting my time? Mine is a 1998 R reg diesel model with digital mileage etc which I believe are called the post 1998 dials.
Any experiences or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Sam.
