Re: Punto Sporting Steering Wheel

has it got an air bag, if not you just remove horn push, and undo nut, remove old wheel. if you are fitting an after market wheel you will need the correct boss to fit the new wheel

aparently in the max power haynes manual you dis connect the battery, leave the car for 20 mins so the little charge runs out and then it shoudnt go off, but apparently if you drop it or give it any sort of force it will go off.

Re: Punto Sporting Steering Wheel

Might I suggest to be very careful with the airbag, man, it can hurt you, not just finacially but even physically.

When I had to remove me pre-tensioners for the seatbelts I took it to a professional who installed a resistor instead of the pre-tensioners.
