PetrolDave Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 You need VAG-COM to clear the fault code - if the problem was a temporary one. What makes you 100% certain it's a passenger airbag problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA3 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Previous fault which diagnosed with vag-com, however the car passed it's MOT as the air bag is not a failure I will be trying to sell the car soon so I don't want pay out anymore money than I have to.

whimsical_chris Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 On my A4 I had problems with the wiring under the seats being a bit loose, so when they reset the airbag light, the wires broke a connection ( ? ) and caused the airbag warning light to come on. Even when the connection was made again the light stayed on until the system was reset with the VAG-COM. Might be worth checking the wires prior to getting it VAG-COMed, they seemed to be just in the wrong place so that when the seats were moved back or forward they where movd just enough to cause the problem. Not sure if its the same on the A3, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
