Thread: Finally found a FBMSW, now I need the balloon for it :-)

I just bought bought a nice steering wheel on eBay, can anyone help me with a part number for the matching airbag? :-)

The wheel has the following part number - 8J0 419 091 L

Thanks :-)

Your best bet is contact NHN or N8 on here as there the experts with the whole FBMFSW info and can probably supply the airbag you need at alot cheaper prices than any dealer or by any chance seller on ebay will sell for

That's off a 2011 TT

Airbag no. 8J0 880 201 N (£650)

Thick end of a grand to fit a fbmfsw doesn't sound much of a bargain to me either !!!!!!!!!

PM'd.

Will any TT airbag do, or does it need to be a specific partnumber?

Most should be ok assuming it's the same year (ish). Best thing to do is to find one first, then check the part number before you buy. Must be a dual stage bag though.

I i´m not sure how to check the part number, but i´ll see what I can find :-)

The part number is clearly marked on a sticker on the airbag. If you intend to buy off ebay get the seller to tell you the part number.

It will be something like the number I gave you in post #5

I know how the spot the part number on the airbag, but i´m not sure how to check if it will fit the wheel

Come back to the forum with the number and I'll see if it matches with what it says in ETKA

Actually I have ETKA, but i´m no superuser

How about this one:
AUDI A3 TT TTRS STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG UNIT 8J0880201J 8J0 880 201 J‏ | eBay

ORIGINAL PART NUMBER:- 8J0880201J / 8J0 880 201 J
UPDATED PART NUMBER:- 8J0971589B / 8J0 971 589 B

I assume it fits? :-)

Firstly the guy doesn't know what he's talking about !

Secondly it's likely to be off a stolen car !

The airbag should be ok (if it works, but hopefully you'll never know ! ) and that part number was updated to suffix 'L' on 01.02.2011.

Part number 8J0 971 589 B is the wiring harness that goes with it.

They are both off a 2009 TT but should be ok with a 2011 wheel

Sorry but I give this information as guidance only and cannot guarantee that everything will fit !!!

Thanks for your help....

One more question - Do I need anything else than the airbag and the wiring harness? what about the slip ring?

Provided you have slip ring suffix 'D' and steering module suffix 'F' (or later) then you should be ok.

As your car is DSG then you should have these.

The car will need to be coded with VCDS after installation.

I thought so... I already have a MFSW with paddles, so I should be ok :-)

Can anyone tell if this airbag will fit?

You need to get a photo showing the part number underneath the bar-code to be sure.

If you bought the wheel in your first post did you get screws with it ? None shown in picture.

However it does look like it will fit.

Ok, will get the part number to confirm...

No screws came with the wheel....

mate one of our member is selling FBMFSW for £300! Audi s3 FBMFSW | VAGOC.co.uk If I were you I would sell the tts one and get the one from the link.

Good effort Red but he needs DSG !

He could always buy mine and sell the wheel I have and just keep the airbag and harness!!?

That's true - why don't you PM him ?

Presumably your airbag will fit his wheel ?

He'll be back.

And it's offers OVER £300...........

paint it pink maybe

Haha.... Uhmmm.... No, :-)

Does anyone know if an airbag with PN 8JO 880 201 J 6PS will fit this wheel? :-)


Thanks

There isn't really any way of telling ! The wheel you bought started production in 05/10 and ran until 09/11. That airbag was for a wheel up to 06/10 and revised to suffix L on 01/02/2011.

My guess would be that it will fit.

As we all know, James sale fell through :-( so I have to find another bag.... If only eBay sellers would actually answer their messages...

So I guess 8J0 880 201 L 6PS would fit, right? :-)

Yep - I guess so !

Sweet, thanks :-)

Finally managed to source the correct airbag and harness, now it´s gonna be interesting to see if I can fit it myself :-)

Where you get it from?

Airbag from eBay, harness from Audi....

I hope I dont screw up the install :-)

Well done lad.
