Airbag recall.

[Rightthen]

Hi everyone.

Finally taking her in for the "gas generator" recall. The only info from Google is it's the drivers side, and Audi wouldn't tell me anything useful other than they need it all day and they're going to do a 'health check' with a helpful traffic light system to aid me to imagine how much money each imaginary problem shall cost me, should I wish them to complete the work at several hundred pounds per hour.

Can someone tell me...

Are they just replacing the unit in the steering wheel or pillar??

Its the igniter in the steering wheel at the very least. Can't remember if the D2 needs the passenger side bag doing as well or not. Its not the curtain airbags though.

I bet half the techs at a dealership have never even seen a D2 these days. They can't get any parts for them anyway

All I could find on it said drivers side only. I'm pretty sure the guy at Audi said the same.

So, that being the case, they need it all day...... to disconnect the battery and take off two torx bolts

They've got to claim those warranty hours from Audi It'll take longer to type up the shopping list of things they would love to change but can't get than it will to do the actual work
