wrong section.............

anyhoo

you on about disabling the side airbags??  :undecided:

2 ways -

1) remove the connector under the seat but this will bring up a warning light on the dash

2) take it to the dealer and get them to de-activate it along with the passenger airbag or get someone local to you with VAG COM to do it

Im pretty sure that vagcom has the option to diable the light if you pull the plug out.
