In this video, you will learn how to remove the steering wheel from the Audi A3, and then take off the airbag from the steering wheel. First, turn the steering wheel to the position shown, then with a small screwdriver, remove the cover where you will insert an Allen key; turn it until it loosens, then turn the steering wheel to the other side and repeat the operation.
