Rocket. Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi, So today the slip ring ribbon broke on my Arosa so the airbag light is on I can't seem to find the specific Arosa one, So my question is will the Lupo slip ring fit ? Unless anyone has an Arosa one they'd sell me ? Some people also call this part a 'Clock spring' Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 i thought they would be the same, no point in making a completely different part if it's in the same location as it's twin brother / sister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket. Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Update on this ! The Lupo one is a totally different connection to the Arosa one so they wont fit Looks like I'll have to buy another one from the dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Or.... Hack it to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket. Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not exactly something I'd want to 'hack' to fit, If the air bag doesn't go off in the event of a crash for the sake of £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm actually repairing a clock spring right now. Looks like another nasty VW design defect causing them to snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to get hold of the plug from a Lupo loom so hopefully I'll be able to change the plugs and replace mine with a Lupo one so if it goes again in the future it'll be easier to get hold of a Lupo one rather than the Arosa one. What a pain in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pain in the rear The reality is though, they're not complicated pieces of hardware, and they're even less complicated electrically. Your car simply sends a pulse of electricity through to it, to check it exists, and then if there's an accident, sends a larger current to deploy it. Dead simple. You can't really 'hack it wrong', because if you do, your car will simply flash up your airbag light. As I said, I'm hack/fixing one right now.
