MOT FAIL

Is your insurance company happy / you bothered to tell them you have removed factory fitted safety equipment from the car?

You need to get a slim screwdriver and slide it in just beneath thab tab - give it a wiggle and the connector can be pulled apart. Took me a while to work it out and I've done a few over the years.

Edit: Camera found - Like this mating half missing but you get the idea.

thats how i got it to come away too! great minds think alike!

Stick a resistor of the correct value accross the terminals. Or get the airbag ECU disabled.

Ive just fitted the Gti 180 seats into my 138 Gti and couldn't get that connection apart either, the red tab snapped off when i lifted it Confused

Has it come out of the part of the runner that's attached to the seat?

rob_1990

Ohh seems extreme. The reason im trying to take the seat out is because its rocking back when i accelerate. When moved it earlier a bolt which had sheared off fell out of somewhere, anyone else had this?

Just use insulated crimps.

The reason why they chop them off and solder and heat shrink them is to stop the airbag fault. Loads of companies do this now.

copey

suppose its a good idea, just a ball ache if you plan to remove the seats again

Lift the tab and pull?

When I had my wiring repaired by Peugeot they cut the connectors out and hard wired it Confused

That's what I'm going to do I think.

Disconnect the battery for half hour, cut the wires and hard wire them back in.

That should be fine, right?

That's what Peugeot did so it must be Laughing

(I didn't have any issues with it)
