Okay I am trying to find a boss kit for changing the steering wheel but cant find any anywhere that are for a mk2 punto, any help?

How are you going to get around the Airbag light been illuminated because you've removed it?

Its now an MOT failure

And dont think removing bulb or taping will work - the man needs to see the light do the testing on ignition, so no lighty - no Mot'ey

Just food for thought

Assuming you're in the uk removing the airbag would result in an automatic mot fail now, obviously you'll be able to find pictures of cars with different steering wheels however these predate the rule changes

Does this mean even with a resistor , its an automatic mot failure ? Some boss kits come with them.

I believe that the MOT now states that all standard equipment must be present and working which means the Steering wheel must have an air bag if it left the factory with one. Not sure from what year.

The light not working isn't a fail, only an advisory - it can't show a fault if it doesn't work! That said, it will fail for a missing airbag. As will the plank who had us fit a non-gen wheel to his Civic last week.

<p>To be honest it didn't cross my mind about removing the airbag, looks like its back to the drawing board for that one! Would another fiat steering wheel fit mine? Its just that my steering wheel is a bit dated and i quite like the look of a few other puntos I've seen?</p>

How about one from a Active Sport or Sporting? The matching airbag should be compatable with your system.

 

[Ziggy122]

Not uncommon for people to swap the Standard steering wheel and airbag for the sporting wheel and airbag

Remember to discharge system first (battery off for 10 - 20mins) before doing anything

I swapped the standard punto steering wheel to the sporting one, it's an easy 10 minute job once you've disconnected the battery, just be super careful when taking the retaining bolt off when removing the old wheel and you'll be sorted.
