How to remove the airbag on a New Beetle?

You german by any chance, why do germans put greetings at the end of their messages? it's all back to front.

Since yours may be different that the US version I have instructions for, I can't really say how. I can suggest one thing however. If you don't know how for sure DON'T TRY. Those air bags can do some serious damage if they go off while you are trying to work on them and don't think that disconnecting the battery will make them safe, they are designed to go off even if the battery is disconnected during a crash.

Thanks for your advice. But please tell me how to remove the horn/airbag assy on a US model. Greetings DerGolf (working with explosives daily)

I don't know about the New Beetle, but on my 95 Golf, the airbag on the steering wheel is simply held on with two small torx or socket head bolts inserted through the back of the steering wheel. Be sure to disconnect the battery first and handle the airbag with care (ie, don't drop it).
