Steering wheel replacement airbag connector

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I feel stupid with this one but I had on good authority that almost all VAG steering wheels not only fit eachother but the airbags where a simple swap too.

I had also been told that if the connector doesn't fit splicing it would be possible.

I've ended up with a Facelift MK2 Octavia steering wheel trying to fit to early MK2 fabia. The airbag connector itself at the airbag side is the same fitment but the loom is different at the squib side.

I'm not overly bothered as the wheel and airbag was only £40 but I'm curious is it possible to just splice? Or can I use my OEM loom as it physically fits im just concerned the pinouts would be different. See photos thanks.

Original is top connector photo, replacement is bottom. Also attached photos of wheels themselves
