My 2004 jaguar X-type AWD 3.0, V6.

I got it with 61,900 miles in January, so far is running fantastic and all is fine. I have put 7,000 miles in it in just 4 months, it might need new brake pads.

I am thinking in getting a black wood grain steering wheel but
how can I uninstall mine?

I see air bag written on the plastic center cover where the emblem is. I am afraid of pulling the plastic center cover out where emblem is on the steering and get the air bag off (driver),

Is there any way to turn off the air bag if applicable? I do not know how I should uninstall my old steering wheel to get the new steering in.

Anyone?


Thanks,
Rf

 

RF, before you go messing with the air bag, it is highly!!!!! advisable to disconnect the battery and then wait a few minutes before doing anything more. This will ensure that the air bag will not accidentally go off because of an electrical issue. From there, you can remove 2 screws on the back of the steering wheel and that will let the air bag come free from the steering wheel. From there, you will have access to the plug for the air bag. When you put the air bag down (out of the way!!!!), make sure that the Jaguar emblem is facing up. That way, should for some unknown reason the air bag deploys, it will not be launched across the garage. It will simply just open up and be done with it.

As for the steering wheel itself, it will be just like any other steering wheel.

 

Thanks for all, good info and by the way nice job with Nav's Jag fog lights

 

I am thinking in getting the upper and lower mesh grilles from Mirna

Galleries but I am not so sure since the British Racing Green color of my

04 X-type looks great with not chrome like othe prior models
