Year of Manufacture *: 2002
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1200cc

Hi all, quick one today as I feel like I am missing something!
Does anybody know where the drivers side crash sensor is fitted on a 02 Polo. Autodata shows between A and B pillar, so does parts picture from vw but dammed if I can see it!
Can anyone shed some light on it...Please.

The Polo Self Study Literature puts the crash sensors where David says - under the front seats.

Quote;

"The side airbags are integrated in the front seats
and have a filling volume of 12 litres.
The head airbags have a filling volume of 23
litres each and are installed in the vehicle headlining above the doors.
The airbag sensor system comprises two lateral
acceleration sensors (vehicles with head airbags
have four lateral acceleration sensors). They are
located below the front seats."

The diagrams a bit naff, but it looks as though they are flat on the floor pan in front of the crossmember under the seats
hth,
Jon.
