WTB: 2003-2004 Volvo S40 steering wheel airbag

[bat6wc]

I am looking for a 2003-2004 Volvo S40 steering wheel airbag unit in CHARCOAL. I have used car-part.com but the prices are too high.

Thanks

There is more to do than just change the airbag!!! Questions like this are asked and answered all the time here. There are specific items that are required to remove or repair airbag systems. Check out this website for the EXACT answers to your questions. This site tells you exactly what needs to be removed and replaced (seat belts & all) on over 3500 cars. It's a pay site, but it's little money well spent to get the correct answers and to see exactly what you're after...it uses pictures, not text, so you can see what you’re looking for.

Good Luck...it's not too bad of a job & if your state allows it, used parts or parts from ebay should be ok

actually, i have done the swap before. its very simple. the airbag unit is part of the center section of the steering wheel. the whole center sections pops on and off. all you have to do is plug the plugs into the back of it. extremely easy.

Dear bat6wc....
Although you may know how to turn bolts and nuts, you may want to learn how to disarm the system before working on it. Check out this link to see what can go wrong!!!

thank you for your concern. I have the volvo VADIS program which tells me everything, including how to disarm the system.
