Hi guys, the title says it all,
I was driving in to work, managed to smash the kerb and BANG, the monty is buckled, goodyear EF1 is ruptured & the passenger airbag in the seat deployed.
Not sure what damage has been caused to the drivetrain but I know im going to need:-
Monty II Alloy
Tyre
New passenger seat???
Airbag re-set at VW???
+ anything else that broken
I may have found an alloy, tyre can be ordered but not sure about where to get a seat from?!?!
Does anyone have any ideas? Ive checked ebay to no avail...
Its a 52 plate VW Polo Sport TDI 100
Pain in the arse and the last thing I need!
Smashed a kerb, wheel/tyre screwed & seat airbag deploye

I may ruin your day even more....sorry.
If the airbag control unit has now stored crash data then its not as easy as getting the fault code turned off. You may need a new control unit or at least send it to a specialist to get it re-programmed? Hopefully though it was not enough of an impact to trigger any data capture.
Try the breakers for the seat. Lots of OAP's drive Polo's so lots get crashed. (before you flame me for branding Polo's as OAP cars please look at my sig : ) mind you I am not far off the OAP status myself)

Hi all, well alots happened since this post and now the car is one of the least of my problems...
Anywho, all looks good so far. My local garage has done a stirling job so far, new seat cover and airbag unit as opposed to a whole new seat... as far as the car though, new swing-arm, ball joint etc etc
Is proving costly, BUT not as much as the stealers would charge.
If you guys need a decent garage in north london let me know.
Will keep you all updated!
