Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Steering wheel

In this video, see how simple it is to remove the steering wheel and airbag from the Volkswagen Golf 4. First, prepare all necessary materials (screwdriver, spanner to disconnect the battery cables, ratchet spanner to remove the steering wheel). Start by lifting the front bonnet where the battery is located; remove the plastic cover over the battery; use a spanner to loosen the battery terminals and disconnect the cables to avoid short circuits. Now, take a non-pointed screwdriver and insert it into the holes behind the steering wheel, press to lever it off, thus detaching the airbag and removing the airbag cables. Insert a ratchet spanner into the steering wheel, unscrew it, and remove it.
