Technical Characteristics and Purpose

The Audi A3 E104 T Driver Airbag has been designed as an integral part of the driver's safety system. Mounted centrally in the steering wheel rim, it works with the factory SRS control module, maintaining the original geometry and mounting points.

This part belongs to the Steering Wheels and Horn Buttons group, meaning it is intended to work in direct proximity to the horn mechanism and the steering wheel clock spring. The black color facilitates matching with most standard Audi interior trims, without the need for additional visual modifications.

Safety and Compatibility

The driver's airbag is a crucial component of the passive safety system. Proper design and fit for a specific Audi steering wheel allow for maintaining:

• correct positioning relative to the driver,
• proper cooperation with the SRS control module,
• consistency with the factory mounting system and electrical connectors.

By using an original Audi solution, the risk of fitting issues, mounting play, or incorrect system operation is reduced. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs and for restoring the full functionality of the safety system.

Condition, Functionality, and Practical Application

The part is offered as a used driver's airbag, allowing for an economical repair of the SRS system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of solution is often chosen for:

• repairs after airbag system deployment,
• comprehensive interior restoration after a collision,
• restoring the factory look of an Audi steering wheel.

The black color of the housing facilitates integration with the standard steering wheel, without the need for additional matching of decorative elements. The use of an original component promotes the maintenance of visual and technical consistency of the entire system.

Benefits of Choosing an Original Audi Airbag

Choosing an original Audi driver's airbag translates into a number of practical benefits:

• Factory Fit – compatibility with the steering wheel structure and horn control elements.
• Cohesive Interior Aesthetics – the black color blends well with most Audi upholstery and panels.
• Cost Savings on Repair – a used part allows for reduced costs while maintaining original specifications.

For users planning more extensive cabin modifications, the driver's airbag can be part of a comprehensive cockpit refresh, combined with steering wheel replacement or other control system work.
