Hi, does anyone know how to get the airbag light off? its been put on vagcom by oliew,on sat and no fault code came up! i have tried unplugging the connectors under the drivers seat but no luck. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers Lee

no fault code, I think on vag-com you can connect directly to the airbag module. I had the same thing but it turned out to be the passenger side connector - although I managed to get a code which tells you which airbag is faulting. In the absence of any fault code I would try the passenger side and put the vag-com on again. If its actually the air bag control unit gone bang then that could cost a few $$. Cant remember when you are supposed to have the air bags changed, 8 years or 12 years spring to mind.

mine has come on too over the weekend mate , in sympathy.
waiting for insurance to replace my laptop and vag-com!!!

Mine came on over the weekend, not on the S4 but on my BMW so I'm stuck having to go to a garage for a fault code read

Lee, you said you tried to do something with the connectors under the seat? i cant remember if these get crusted up or need cleaning, shame my battery died on the laptop im sure we could of sorted it
we should arrange a meet in the midlands, im more than happy to bring my laptop to help sort problems

Thanks Ol, i will try to unplug the connectors under the passenger side and see if that works! a meet would be good! Lee

If it is the connectors, you still need vagcom to reset the fault.
Passenger side was dodgy on mine. Quick clean and reset, all ok

Yeah if you can get the connections off. You need a matrix of tools to loosen those things, any volunteers,lol?

unplug and spray WD40.

When I fitted front Recaros recently the hardest part was getting the flippin' electrical connectors unplugged on the old seats. I had to reset a fault code on the passenger seat using VAGCOM too (only the passenger seat though strangely).
