MKIVDreamer Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Don't forget to disconnect the negative battery connection before you start, otherwise you'll get the airbag light on. I'm fairly sure that there is a good guide on here some where... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
