AUDI A4 1.8T 1997 B5

[ALAN TURNER]

Hi guys, New to this site, so please help if you can, as I'm going mad at the moment.....
Side impact a while back - airbag (side) in drivers seat deployed. Question - Do I need a new seat ? If so, which seats will fit, maybe from a later year. Question - do I have to replace the seat-belt - and the door impact sensor - and the airbag ECU ? ---- or are there any alternatives, apart from buying a new car - Doh!
Would really appreciate your help, thanks, Alan.

I’d get a vcds scan done in the car and see what’s been affected. Normally anything with a pretensioner needs replaced also. Easier to just get a replacement seat. Any B5 seats should fit.
