How to remove the airbag in the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo 6R, Polo 5, MK 5, Polo V, MK V - Years 2009-2017
Part: Airbag

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the airbag in the Volkswagen Polo, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, then we open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid accidental airbag deployment. Next, we go inside the cabin, unclip the upper cover of the steering column with a plastic spatula, rotate the steering wheel 90 degrees, and using a flathead screwdriver, unclip the indicated securing clip. At this point, all that remains is to repeat the operation on the opposite side, remove the airbag from the steering wheel, and disconnect the connector.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
