How to Remove the Steering Wheel Airbag on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Airbag

To remove the steering wheel airbag on a Volkswagen Golf 7, turn the steering wheel first to the right and then to the left to access the screws at the back that secure the plastics around the steering column. Once these are removed, unscrew the screws located behind the steering wheel itself. Once removed, you can pull the airbag from the centre of the steering wheel, allowing you to disconnect the connector at the back and completely remove the airbag. A new one can then be connected and secured with the appropriate screws.
