Application and Function in the Vehicle

The presented front seat side airbag module operates in the driver's side protection zone, cooperating with the factory SRS system controller. Its placement in the front left seat effectively mitigates the effects of side impacts, in line with the manufacturer's design intentions.

The component is intended for Audi vehicles from the A3 / S3 8P generation, where maintaining the original mounting geometry and correct interaction with the electrical system and collision sensors is required.

Construction and Fit for Audi A3 / S3 8P

The module has been specifically designed for the front left seat, ensuring:

• precise fit to the seat structure – correct positioning relative to the upholstery and frame,
• preservation of the original airbag deployment zone – consistent with Audi's safety design,
• compatibility with the original seatbelt system – the module interacts with pretensioners and sensors.

This allows for the restoration of the driver's side protection as intended by the manufacturer, without altering the seat structure or vehicle's electrical system, provided it is installed correctly.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered module is an original Audi part in used condition. This type of component is a good choice for owners who want to:

• maintain compliance with factory specifications instead of using aftermarket replacements of unknown origin,
• optimize the cost of safety system repairs while preserving the original design,
• restore the SRS system's functionality after an airbag deployment or seat replacement.

Before installation, it is recommended to have the component inspected by a qualified service center and to perform diagnostics of the airbag system to confirm correct communication with the vehicle's electronics.

Safety, Installation, and Service Recommendations

Work on the SRS system requires strict adherence to safety precautions. It is recommended that:

• the seat side airbag module installation be performed by a mechanic experienced in handling airbag systems,
• the vehicle's power supply be disconnected before starting work according to the manufacturer's procedures,
• a computer diagnostic scan be performed after installation to clear any error codes and confirm the system's proper operation.

This approach helps maintain a high level of operational safety and minimizes the risk of incorrect system activation in an emergency situation.
