Title: 1998 GTV V6 Airbag Cannister Replacement
Post by: agent86 on October 12, 2015, 05:57:45 PM
Hi All,
My GTV has a sticker in the drivers door jam showing a well overdue date for replacement of the gas canister to activate the airbags. The dash light for the airbags does not light up when started so I assume the airbags are U/S. A couple of questions,
1. Would this be the cause of the light not lighting up.
2. How difficult is the job of replacing the canister.
3. I live in Wodonga three hours away from club sponsors, can a non specialist workshop be trusted?
4. Is the canister likely to cause the airbags to not function?
Any advice on this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers 86
