55 plate Ibiza Cupra PD160

I hit a pothole/drain/something hard (ca 30 mph) avoiding someone and it blew the passenger side tyre, dented the alloy and set off the driver seat airbag, seatbelt pretensioner etc. The power steering light came on and isnt working.

Has anyone had a similar incident and if so what sort of cost is involved for a fix? (assuming no underlying suspension/structural damage)? There is no external bodywork damage.

Just wondering if its worth going through my insurance or not......

Had a similar incident with mine. Can be rectified. It will set a fault on the ecu which can be cleared. The main airbag fault receiver is under the passenger seat I recall. Might cost a lot to have your side airbags replaced. It gave me an excuse to buy a new cupra interior
