have you recently done any electrical work on the car without disconnecting the battery??  tends not to like that

do you have side airbags?? check under your seats to ensure that the connectors haven't come out or are broken

check the connectors.  also fire up VAG COM and clear the codes.  It may also pinpoint the problem  :smiley: or it may not come back lol
