Hi guys, i have just bought a new grande punto. at first i was disappointed because the buttons on the steering wheel were not illuminated then i have changed them at the service with illuminated ones:slayer:

But know when i turn the steering in any direction a cord noise coming from the steering wheel as if the cords are loose and hitting somewhere in the steering wheel

Anybody can help me how to remove the center of the steering wheel to check cord tightness?? the service is not close to my home and i do not have enough time to get it back to the service because of my job.

no pleasing some people. Dude its a fiat. GP is cheapest supermini you can buy. I think its ace for the money.

I am happy wit my car and will be happier if I can stop the noise coming from the cords

Honestly, id take it back to the dealers, because its a airbag your messing around with....

I agree with lee, i can see it going seriously wrong if you mess with the airbag somehow lol

airbag = explosive - dont mess with it unless you know what your doing

Yeah, would be quite funny to watch thought

Its not really a DIY job as above......

it has been covered in part on here but you can search for it you need a special removal tool anyhow .....

Wow you women. Disconnect the battery for 20mins minimum to get all charge out of the system so the bag cant go off. Then there should 3 or 4 bolts that you need to undo to get the bag off.

If you're not careful the static charge on your hands can fire it off if you touch the contacts, so it really should be a Dealer job. Though from the sounds of it, I doubt it's the airbag itself that's at fault.
