rapidep Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hey,there's some print on my driverside sunvisor about periodic maintenance of the airbag 10 years after the first date of registration. Says take it to Toyota....Was wondering what they actualy do to it??Well I work for Renault and after ten years all explosive airbags are advised to be changed, bit crazy as it would be massive money to change all of them including the seat pre-tensioners. Must be something to do with the explosive charge getting shittier over time and could cause possible delays or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 yes and i'm sure i read somewhere about a greater chance me the air bag perishing and you being burnt by the gas! I'll be changing my wheel soon! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 When my old Starlet was wrote off the airbag didn't even go off! But then again the bump was so slow I didn't even feel anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enzo_e492901 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Does everyones air bag light come on when the ignition is switched on for about 6 seconds or something and then go out? Ever since ive had my car mine has not lit up ever but I read in the starlet user manual the other day it should. Dont know what it not coming on is trying to tell me?Edit: I changed all the bulbs when I put the sr clocks in!Gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james@cjperformance Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 air bags are shit in any case i had a 2005 clio back in 2008 hit a tree at 35 and then rolled it and landed ontop of an astra and none of the air bags went off. put an after market steering wheel in instead if you are that worried about the gas burning you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
