Hi

Firstly, not a car buff by any stretch so please excuse my terminology!!

I've recently picked up a Mk6 facelift fiesta and the "middle" bit of the steering wheel - i think it's the bit that houses the airbag - either way it's the bit with the ford badge on...well it's not in very good nick, some of the plastic peeling off etc, so i'd like to replace it.

Do i need to replace the entire airbag? Looking around on eBay they go for about 50-60 quid. Quite steep when all i want to do is replace the bit of plastic that's not been looked after...

Any suggestions? If I do have to replace the whole airbag is this something I can do myself or should I be taking it to an expert?

Many thanks

its the whole unit mate air bag an all.

Put a pic up just to be sure

Thanks mate, will post a picture when I actually get the car.

So if I buy a replacement airbag, is this something I can swap out myself, or is it a job I should be leaving to an expert??

tbh I change mine over myself but only do it if your confident about what your doing. They aren't that hard to do, just make sure you disconnect the battery and leave it to fully discharge (bout half hour) before doing the air bag. Just to be on the safe side.
