Sadly Mark, judging by what I read on one receipt, the previous owner (he owned it for 15 years) asked for a quote to replace the airbags in 2015.

Either way, I think that there should definitely be more options open to owners of affected vehicles, especially considering that many vehicles of that age may now be cherished, expensively maintained/restored classics. Legally decommissioning the airbags should certainly be an option but manufacturers should also offer subsidised replacement airbags, enabling owners who still wish to replace their airbags to do so at a reduced cost.

What a sensible idea! One that I am certainly going to suggest to Audi when I reluctantly approach them about this issue.
