I plan to replace the Rallye plastic steering wheel with a Momo wheel in the near future. I see the Momo hub kits are specific for steering wheel replacement on airbag equipped cars or non-airbag equipped cars. Does this mean the hub kit for a car with an airbag includes wiring for the airbag light? Or do I need to source a resistor from elsewhere? Using the search facility, I saw reference to a 'shunt' (resistor and wiring so airbag light does not stay on) formerly stocked by Peugeot which was said to be no longer available? Can anyone provide an update on this? Anyone replaced their airbag wheel recently? Many thanks.

Momo sell boss kits specifically for Airbag 306's, just make sure you order the one with an "r" at the end of the part number, they should then come with the right cable to plug into the airbag loom to make the airbag light behave as normal.

Mine for the phase 3 gti6 does exactly that with no disturbance of the dash or dash bulbs.

I think now due to new MOT rules the airbag light has to illuminate during the startup procedure, therefore taking the bulb out would make it fail.

I could be wrong though. Unsure

pretty sure you are right as of few month ago

last time my rallye was in Mot centre they were asking what i used to make my airbag light work ; as they had cars in failing because of Airbag light

pretty silly considering my Rallye had no airbags left in it

Noting the 2+ year thread bump, in the end I went for an OE leather rim wheel to replace the plastic Rallye one, so I still have the airbag.

How do they know a car is fitted with a airbag though if it's not fitted at the time of test and no light comes on on dash? Dunno

Or is there a year/date where airbags are compulsory fitment? Dunno

Another vote for removing the bulb Thumbs up

as sooner or later the wiring in the seats fails anyway! Yes

Yes, I've had a couple of blinks today, and cured it by unplugging/replugging the plugs under the seats but I was thinking about how to sort it when that no longer works.
