Airbag light

Is this a known Mk4 fault that is an easy fix or anything i should be looking for?

Fault is unrelated to my starter problem!

I'd be looking for someone with VAG-Com to scan the fault for you  :smiley:

have a play with the wires under drivers seat, mine gets caught up sometimes and light comes on, reset it with a code reader and see if it comes back on

when i had my mk4 1.4 and airbag light came on there was a wire that was unplugged under the seat it had like a metal  plug on the end wasnt sure it was meant to be plugged into anything untill i compared it to the other side, the light will need to be reset tho after you re connect it

Remove and clean the plugs under the seats or get it scanned.
