Danskidan Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi Guy's, Just bought my 1st Lupo, and 1st VW, my car is a 52plate, black 1.4 SE. It's been lowered on coilovers, and can honestly say it's jumped straight into the top 3 of fun cars to drive. Problem is have is the airbag light is on constantly, is there anywhere I should be checking 1st before taking it for diagnostics to find the problem. I'm a fairly confident diy mechanic and don't mind getting my hands dirty, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danskidan Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 May have lied abit........ I have a leather dimpled steering wheel.... which i believe is a standard wheel for a Sport not an SE.

Sounds like your clock spring to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danskidan Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Might sound like a right idiot but what's the clock spring? How difficult is it to rectify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danskidan Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Could this also be why the indicator stork doesn't always return when turning right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
