Its been popping up on the display for the past week, nothing in the handbook though?

I had it on my Mk7 - its the seatbelt pretensioner - had to be replaced (under warranty)

The passenger one went, then a few days after it was fixed, the drivers one.

The error message could cover a load of other safety systems though - take it to the garage and have them read the data from the car - it will tell them what is wrong.

Oh bugger, it turns off after a few mins of driving but comes back when you turn ignition on again

Mine was a warranty job...so no idea.

Also as I said, it could be other things covered by that message.

Unlikely to be thousands, probably a couple of hundred tho...

Ok, good idea to replace it unless you fancy eating firey death from the airbag if it triggers.
