Removing airbag seats!

[shannon-ob]

Hey guys.

Got my new vtr. Last night I went to swap the seats to gti leathers but then remember I have an airbag interior at the moment. Just wondering how I go about disconnecting them.

Like is there any particular order in which to unplug wires. Also how long would should I leave the battery unplugged?

disconnect the battery for like 10mins

then its just the wires under the seats in any order i would have thought

Did someone put the seats in there, as vtr's dont usually have airbagged seats

Cheers dude.

And no it is the one that was in the for sale section the other week. Has abs too. Optional extras.

ahh k that makes sense. Ive only come across 1 vtr with side airbags, abs and passenger airbag

once you unplugged the battery: do a safety drain by putting your contact and headlights on, so any capacitor in the circuit also gets drained.

Yeah I know really rare lol. Shame they don't do what they did with mk1 vts where it had top glove compartment :(

Bloody good idea!! Thanks mate!

No worries, it's much quicker than unplug and wait. I always tell people who have aftermarket stereos, some have huge capacitors that can trigger a spark even after being unplugged..

I would leave the airbagged VTR interior in it! They are pretty cool!

very rare to find VTR airbagged interiors! ;)
