Upgrade your old airbag to one with the chrome star in your E-Class, C-Class, S-Class, SL, CL and others from 1992 to 1999 model years. Black OEM part, Fits the stock steering wheel as well the wood wheel. $100 plus shipping.
This is a bit mis-leading, as this bag only fits the 98-99 steering wheels. Although, it is the same physical shape as the 92-97 wheels, the way it mounts is different. So if you don't have a 98-99 steering wheel, this won't fit.
I tried to fit a 98 airbag to a 95 wheel and discovered this the hard way.
Just for the W140 users thats not the case, only with some of the early 1992's there wheels are different but all the bags that mount in them are the same. MB recommends the bags be replaced every 15 years so if your not sure ring the dealer and get them to fax or email you the pics of WIS to see.
Yeah, theres something about this guy's signature that disturbs me, and I just cant put my finger on it.
But I guess theres nothing realy to worry about anyway.
I mean its not like his signature is actually a disclaimer protecting him against anything he states on BENZ World.
W140, W202, W124, it makes no difference, all the steering wheels from model years 1992-1997 used a specific type of mount for the airbag (Sportline wheels and SLK/CLK wheels are not included as they use a completely different airbag). The chrome star airbag came out in 1998 and WILL NOT fit any 1992-1997 steering wheels. Also, the internals of the 1998/1999 wheel will not bolt into a 1992-1997 steering wheel (I tried that also)
FWIW, my current steering wheel is from a 1992 W140, my airbag from a 1995 W124.
Not wanting to bust anyones bubble here, but I was misled by someone saying these later model airbags would fit my pre 1998 steering wheel, so I bought it and found out the hard way.
