My daughter has a base mod 55 plate HTP Classic ,3cyl engine

Is there a way to disable the front passenger air bag without refering to dealer ??

The key switch shown in hand book is not there

Cheers

I think there is a key slot in the glovebox ?

mm thats what the handbook says , but no key slot in her car , bok says dealer visit

I think it can probably be turned off with VAGCOM but AFAIK there may also be a safety kit (a kind of restraining kit to stop it going off ) fitted by the dealer as well at least that's what happened when my Golf had the airbag deactivated.

Also, I think you are required to display some sort of notice in the car to the effect that it is deactivated for insurance purposes.:confused:

It was an optional extra to get the 'lock' fitted, and from what I remember it was about 50 quid at order time, so I'd expect it to cost more as a retrofit IF they'll do it. Worth asking around though.

There is no retrofit, I have researched this quite deeply.

I know people who have just disconnected the bag. The light comes on but the others are not effected.
