Picking up my mk4 R next weekend. At the moment the car has a Momo steering wheel fitted. The dealer is contacting the original owner to ask about the original wheel, but as far as I am aware it's not available . I'm happy to have the car with no airbag but was unsure as to any issues regarding MOT/Insurance.

Anybody got any clue?. I've rung my insurance company and the they have said it's fine, but overseas call centres don't inspire me with confidence!

Is it a dealer you're buying it from?

Should have told them to fit a new OEM steering wheel for you.

there is no law that says you must have a drivers airbag, its just there for your own safety. A broken nose is the least of your worries however in an accident, assuming you keep the momo and are belted up

No, it's not a main dealer, but is a reputable one. I'm not that bothered at the moment, just don't want to fall on the wrong side of the law. It's having an MOT before I collect, so if no issue arises there, I expect t'll be OK.

Some Momo steering wheels for the R32 still allow the airbag to work(not sure on a MK4 though)

lol..... doubt this will work as there isn't one!!

If its been removed, don't worry about it as Wayne said

Do you need to inform your insurance company that the airbag has been removed?

I spoke to the insurance company, but tbh they don't inspire you with confidence when they can't even speak proper english!. I think it's ok, I just like to make sure. In any case I'll get the insurance company to write it into their notes.

Roll on next weekend, I can still hear the noise of the Milltek exhaust in my head!

Look out on Ebay for an OEM wheel and airbag, if your not to sure about the Momo.

Enjoy your ride mate nice one,, dont forget to get some photo's posted up.
