Video tutorial

In this video, see how to dismantle the steering wheel and airbag from a Volkswagen Lupo: first, it is best to disconnect the negative terminal to avoid any unpleasant surprises. At the bottom of the steering wheel, there are two holes where you will insert two flathead screwdrivers.

It may be necessary to remove the lower cover of the steering column by taking out the Phillips screws to allow for the insertion of the two screwdrivers. This will unlock the airbag, which you can easily remove by disconnecting the electrical connector and the horn plug.
