In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front airbags of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we get on board the car and start disassembling and removing the steering wheel airbag, pushing on the back holes and disconnecting the electrical connector; to remove the passenger airbag instead, it will be necessary to disassemble the entire dashboard, unscrewing all the fixing screws and removing its components, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new airbags and make the electrical connection, reassembling all the other components.
