I changed the steering wheel on my Rallye on Sunday and as expected the airbag light is now on, on the dashboard. Does anyone know the best capacity of resisiter to use in the circuit? I used a 3.3 ohm in my 182 when i changed the wheel in that.

is that a good idea?considering it applies voltage to work out the resistance? |

I've heard 17ohms or 17kohms is what you need ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once. It said if you don't want to end up in here, stay away from crime, women and drugs. Trouble is, that don't leave you much else to do, does it? |

pug part number = 6542 WSits down as a shunt on the dash wiring loom diagram its usually used when there no passenger airbag, as the wiring is still there even on a phase 1 |

that 6542 WS, looks like some sort of plug?take it i just wack the two wires in there and it does the same thing? ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

I just changed my steering wheel & bought the shunt mentioned above from my local Pug dealer but when I plug it onto the plug for the old airbag on the loom the airbag warning light continues to flash,am I doing something wrong or do I need to reset the ecu or something?________________________________________  |

I could do that but it might be a problem at mot time as the passenger airbag is still in use....________________________________________ |

if your hearts set on putting a resistor in place. why not just measure the resistance of the remooved airbag istelf with a multi meter and then use what ever reading you get as a guide for a resistor value?________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

you can also replace the passenger air bag with a nice little phase one glovebox? ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

I'd be careful doing that, bear in mind a multimeter puts voltage down a wire to test the resistance, so could make the thing explode and take your face off. There was a discussion on here about it before, can't remember if anyone tested it though. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

fair point. these things are pretty dangerous. probly best to test it in situe and sat in the passenger seat/well away.________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

Read my post again,I already have the shunt from Peugoet but it seems to be doing nothing so is it something I haven't done properly like reset the ecu or something like that?A multimeter wont put anywhere near enough voltage through the airbag to set it off,anyway I know the resistance needed is 1.6 ohms I didn't want to solder a resistor in which is why I bought the shunt,the shunt should be doing the same as the resistor...... ________________________________________ |

Only thing I could suggest would be to disconnect the car battery and leave everything to discharge in case the airbag ECU has stored the failed airbag signal.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Well the ecu reset did sweet fa,not sure if the shunt is actually working so I'll have to buy a resistor during the week,Ho hum!________________________________________ |

My MOMO boss came with an airbag resistor "shunt". From memory it was about 2 ohms..Just plugged it into the orange plug and job done. All my other air bags still work (i assume...?) and the air bag light behaves itself. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

I've just taken my airbag light out as the Seat airbag connection was giving me grief. Why would this cause a problem for the MOT? Do they do an ECU diagnostic check? |
