If I remove the bonnet handle will I lose the cable?
also where on the internet can I buy two new airbag emblems that are on the b pillar and two new protective covers which hide the screw on the rear door cards
-
Not sure about the bonnet handle question. As for the airbag emblems, take the part numbers into VW and buy some, only a few quid. Same for the screw covers.
-
I was hoping to do it all over the internet if anyone can help, also any ideas if there is a knack to putting the b pillar trim back on
-
The B pillar trim is a nightmare, took me about 30 minutes a side to get it all back in place without breaking anything. Just make sure all the clips are in the right place and the seat belt adjuster lines up, then just use a fair amount of force and clip it into place. It's not easy at all, worst part of the whole interior swap for me!

No you won't lose the bonnet cable.

was just reading another thread and if you disconnect the airbag switch from the seats without disconnecting the battery the airbags will go off this true ???
-
Best practice when dealing with Airbags is disconnect the battery and let it stand for a short period (5minutes) then disconnect the item.
If you wish to do it a different way then at your own risk but you will get a warning light which will need cancelled! :happy2:

But the actually air bag doesn't go off
-
Never did for me but I was't doing it as a test to see if it would!

It's not advisable to play with airbags with the battery connected. Basically if you unplug it with the battery connected they won't go off BUT there's also a possibility of static electricity form your body on the plug setting them off.
