replacement air bag... uk sites or breakers

sean1141

hi all.. im looking for an air bag for the drivers seat of an audi s3 mk1. these are hard to come across cars at the best of times!! i have tried most sites and breakers i can think of and i was just wondering dose anyone know any breakers or anywhere that would supply airbags? maybe a uk site as most of these were sold in the uk or germany..
thanks

would the airbag be the same in the more normal models? you'll also need the seat cover

sean1141

no i think they are different to the normal models. the s3 has recaro seats and the airbag just clips on with a plastic cover

colm_mcm

oh right, well at least you don't have to get a seat as well.

Are you a member of any owners club?

I suppose what you're up against is that any interior seat which has an intact airbags will be sold complete and put into a lower spec model.

ya the problem is finding a damaged set of seats with the right hand front in good condition. i am a member of a few clubs. the seats will be going into a leon if i can source an airbag. that one in the link seems to be breaking with a full set of seats do...

Try a specialist VAG breaker:

Put a request in on one of the parts websites like the following:

Also log on to http://www.vagdrivers.net The guys over there should know where to source something like that locally if it can be sourced locally.
