Hi i have a RS4 alcantara wheel and airbag.

But what bits are missing from the back of the airbag?

It must be the horn bit and a cable which plugs in the back i think??

As the horn would be springy.

Here are some pics.

My standard sport wheel also has a big rubber block stuck to the metal bit inside the wheel.

Cheers guys.
 
The slip ring is missing...that's what plugs into your airbag connection...and then into the car's loom under the steering column somewhere.
It's held in place be 3 screws (if it's the same as my GTI) and has the plugs etc connected to it.
It's about £100 from the dealer...but may be the same as the one you have.

There is also a section of wire for the horn +ve feed...can't see that in the pics. That's probably the same as on your existing wheel.

There also doesn't appear to be the spring loaded peg thingies that the airbag unit sits on to allow it to be pressed in to activate the horn...assuming that's the way thr horn works on the RS4.
 
Thanks very much mate!!

I will take a couple of pics if the old airbag soon to see what you guys think as i dont want it being wrong.

Thanks again.
