Personally I would tell them to do one and swap in some bags from a facelift or other model which has proper bags. B5 A4 and C5 A6 steering wheels are compatible, although the passenger dash bag won't be.

Biggest problem is that they'll have to already be in Australia since we can't ship airbags to you. That may limit your options somewhat.

I can't see much information about whether it is just the drivers airbag that is in question. Your suggested repair remedy makes sense to me...

This is my big fear Michaela...my registration is due at the end of January so time is running out for me I fear...

From an AU motoring site: a total of 3960 cars are affected across the following model lines in the Audi recall:

1997-2000 Audi A4
1998-2000 Audi A6
1998-2000 Audi A8
1999-2000 Audi TT
1998-1999 Audi Cabriolet

That's Australia only so far.

That is the situation...

Airbags can't be sent by air freight as they are pyrotechnic devices so I am investigating specialist dangerous goods couriers to see if they can help. The passenger side dash bag is different between LHD and RHD so the UK may be the only useful source of those. I'm hoping we don't get a recall of them too, since supply may be rather limited if we do. Thats assuming we can even ship one to you of course...

I feel very humble and appreciative that you would go to the trouble of investigating this. Perhaps I am feeling a little over emotional but thanks, you!
