This is the shield one




This is the round one

 

[LEE69]

bump for some help please.

 

[hollows wife]

[LEE69]

The buyer i got it of said an A3. it as an S4 badge on it. :/

 

[LEE69]

Seems it various vag cars including an A3 AUDI A3/S3/SPORTBACK/QU. [A3] (EUROPE) 2009: FRONT AXLE, STEERING: 41920. STEERING WHEEL

I've fitted a FBMFSW from a 2014 S-Line A5 into my A3 8P2. Everything works spot on, all i did was swap the yellow connector from the old airbag to the new airbag, Ensuring that i cross referenced the pin locations from the original airbag to the new one. If you know what your doing then its quite straight forward, However you have to be careful to ensure you put the pins back in the correct places else you could end up with an airbag in your face

 

[LEE69]

Were your connectors/spades different sizes? If so did you just crimp new ones on?

 

[Shaikly]

Didn't take any wiring off the airbag just swapped the big yellow connector. Cross referencing the locations of the pins from the old air bag to the new one.

 

[LEE69]

Ahh right got you.Thanks

 

[Shaikly]

If you are going to swap the connector just make sure you track the wiring back and double check. Don't want the airbag going off good luck

 

[LEE69]

Just compared the two yellow connectors

round bag top row
1 brown
2 yellow
3 black
4 green
5 white
6 blue


bottom row

2 purple


shield bag

Top row

2
3 green
4 white

6 orange

bottom row

[Shaikly]

You need to trace back the wiring on the shield airbag and write down where each wire is connecting to on the actual airbag and then do the same to the round airbag. Sorry if I'm not making much sense pretty useless at explaining!

 

[LEE69]

No you're making perfect sense i don't mind wiring but messing with air bags i don't like lol

I was going to put the shield loom in the round one but the spades are different sizes (no biggy) but using a circuit tester i was getting a circuit when the other bag wasn't. TBH i'd just rather by a cable lol Someone said the 8J0971589H is the right one

hi lee check your inbox

 

[LEE69]

Replied, swapping the loom to match the 8J0971589H as made the horn work now but no button or paddles functions

 

[LEE69]

Something weird just happened, was driving and i could see a name and phone number where the radio/cd track info goes, my phone was connected via bluetooth but wasn't making a call or anything :/

 

[Shaikly]

That's usually what happens when you press the mode button on the wheel?

 

[LEE69]

I never pressed any buttons though makes a definitive click.

 

[LEE69]

New loom ending in H sorted it

 

[W8JTRees]

is it possible to modify tt mk2 old loom 8JO 971 589 B to fit?, by the looks of it am i right in saying the pin layout only needs to be changed for the horn (yellow and brown) to fit 8p a3

 

[LEE69]

No idea, you can see i tried copying the H loom, but it never worked, but the new loom ending in H worked great and still does.
