Thanks Steve appreciate it

So another DIY job been putting it off since we got car. The cd player is messed up. Want to get replacement off eBay. Two silly questions 1.if part number is same then is it simply plug and play or would it require coding 2.currently car has sensors no reversing camera. If installed one could it be a OEM style where it works on screen when selecting reverse. If so is there hardware wire ports ect on existing unit or would additional hardware be required And as above would a camera need to be installed also please see attached link seen this so wondered is is a easier option https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIBLyhq Once again thanks in advance

Hi all late update apologies. So got another airbag got lucky was correct part number simple plug and play and AH no errors. Nice one all appreciate the help

Thanks sorry my bad meant like any reliable sellers selling used ones like they are on eBay on these forums.

Ye sid the small black plug one is correct one . The two we have at present are wrong think they off a Audi A1

Thanks when search eBay for A6 c7 airbags it shows the ones as picture 1 above .so thinking of buying that.unless Besides eBay anyone here knows anyone for reliable parts ect. Thanks

Don't know if this helps mate we had no heating changed the heater matrix though no luck turned out it was the coolant control valve sits under windscreen on passenger side under scruttle panel. Easy access and removal Brand like febi cost 60/70 approx Though we had no heat at all . So may not apply to your situation Hope that helps

Sorry for late update. Waiting on parts and been busy ect So got a new airbag. Turns out one in car was a wrong one. It had two connections. So the idiot who owned it before did the resistor hack to fool car. So now the new airbag is wrong too as we bought using the old ones model number which was wrong too. So..... Our question is As we don't have the original steering wheel airbag we don't know which is the part number So if we bought a Audi A6 c7 airbag with the CORRECT connectors ect what would we need to do for it work on the car Would it need coding if so would vcds have capacity to code a airbag with a different part number to work on our car Again thanks in advance See pictures picture one is what it SHOULD be like Picture 2 is what we bought on the original bag the harness was same as picture 1 however so on the connector were not connected and the two airbag yellow ones had a resistor mad tape over them

Cheers pal appreciate it

Hi what's a good number when looking at dpf saturation on the vcds What number should we be concerned with. At moment there's no warning however not much motorway drives hence concerned

Maybe a daft question but when changing steering wheel airbag does the replacement have to be the same model number ? If it's not then does it need coding If it does can it be done with the bag vcd software Thanks Picture is of the current airbag Is model number the top or bottom one. I'm guessing the one which is 8X0 880 201 C 6PS

When got car the heater was messed turned out to be coolant control valve under windscreen. But before that we thought it was heater matrix so changed that. Think in that process maybe when reassembling the actuators may e may have messaged the arms or something or the actuator itself. (Was sumer so maybe actuator messed up prior to changing matrix but didn't notice) Got heat from the vent now so all good . Agree due to awkward location think we'll keep it with the flap removed so no long awkward fiddly job.....until get tempted to do it properly lol thanks all genuinely appreciate the advice and help

The middle one? Maybe done something stupid but the flap for the middle one try pushing it with my finger not broken it but it's come off so basically now when I turn the heater on that vent is working. It's cowboy cheap fix literally there is no flap there for the actuator to close and open so happy days lol

Update so removed gloves box all actuators seem to be working meaning the little star shaped hole is moving however the middle flaps not moving. On video you can all holes move the bottom feet flap moves but the middle doesn't So is that still actuators fault? And is it the middle one then that needs chant Thanks
