Please!!! Dont have the tools and dont know how. I've seen the DIY but dont trust myself even if I have the tools.

You name it, buy you lunch, beer or whatever.

I am in the Boston area.



Thanks appreciated.

Nice. Did you have to disconnect the battery in order to remove the SW?

I have a new one being shipped to me soon.

[B72.0tsline]

no, it didnt disconnect the battery and didnt do the VAC thing.

btw i had someone else installed for me. paid $120, finished in 30minutes.

are you getting the same one or similiar? there is one on ebay, S-Line, selling for $550 from like luthania or something not including shipping.

Damn really $120? Did the dealer install it for you?

I bought an S4 Euro Spec one w/ Paddle Shifters.

no, i went to some asian garage in quincy. I figure i am asian and most of the asian people are cheap so......you think its too much?

what can i do, i posted this thread and no one can help me install, so thats the only route i can go.

S4 Euro Spec? i will search and see what it looks like. good pick up though. post pic once you installed

Hey - did you end up sourcing a 3-spoke airbag? I remember you posted up a thread about it in the past. If so, how much did it run you?

[B72.0tsline]

yes i did, got it for 250 shipped. only the airbag itself no wires or harness, my original SW have multi function and paddle shifters so i just use the original wires and harness. the airbag its from a S4 SW without paddle shifter but have multi function, it fited perfectly.

you really have to look around and be patient. i think there are one still for sale i am not sure you have to ask the seller. he wants 350 for the airbag.

if you cant wait to find a good deal on the 3 spoke airbag here is what you can do. go on ebay buy the 3 spoke airbag cover, $80 plus shipping. take the gust out of your existing 4 spoke airbag and put it into the 3 spoke airbag cover you get on ebay. supposely this procedure is very difficult, hard to take the gust out of your 4 spoke SW. if you dont do it carefully the airbag might explode so.....i wont really recommand.

Thanks for the update man. Just so happens that the guy in Germany I bought the SW from also had a brand new airbag to sell me.

$260, not too bad of a price I guess.

So have you install yours yet?

[B72.0tsline]

hope you got a good deal. cause we all know how much the airbag and SW cost.

yes i did. feels great makes me want to drive more aggressive, lol.

i couldnt find the SW you'd bought online, post pics when you get them. i want to see what they looks like.
