Location of my airbag module

[fox1989_123]

I have a mk1 vrs Octavia I am trying to locate my passanger airbag module can anyone help

[wayned]

The airbag needs the dash removing to get to it.

The airbag controller sits on-top the central exhaust/prop tunnel, against the firewall.

I am looking for the passanger airbag module

[mannyo]

There is only one module that controls both driver and passenger bags.

[fox1989_123]

Oh rite is that the one located in the pic above

[mannyo]

yes, its located there as its the least likely area of the car to sustain damage in an impact.

[snow_muncher]

Also controls seat airbags too (if fitted)

The actual airbag is mounted above the glovebox, and fires through the dash facia.

I was under the impression it could be accessed by taking the glovebox out - but not something I've investigate though
