airbag question

[Chris Cupra R]

when i riped out my front seats i removed them then replaced them without turning on the ignition so i didnt notice if an error would come up.... if i get new seats without airbags and install then and drive with them in will this have a horrid error light on my dash... just woundered as well i i need to save weight and replace the cupra seats with carbon firbe ones he he

yes the light will come on, i think some resistors will be needed, when i changed my steering wheel i had to put a resistor inline to confuse the ecu.

humm cheers for the info... wot value resistor and did u just bridge the resistor accross the wire that went into the seat.. my only concern is incase all of a sudden the airbags go off for no reason.. and rip apart my dash...

cheers.

the airbags wont go off for no reason, and wont rip the dash apart, i dont think the curtain airbags reach that far, not sure on the resistor it came with my steering wheel boss, email momo that was where i got my boss from they will probably know what resistor you need and may even supply it in a kit.

 

[Chris Cupra R]

a resistor is a resistor.. like 18p from maplin... ... do u know the colours it had on it.. like the stripes going around it? ill e-mail momo too! cheers buddy.

not sure it had heat shrink over it, id check but it was a pain to remove all the bolts on the wheel.
