hi guys just an update, so i replaced the abs/ airbag light switch as it was smashed up, the abs light comes on but then goes off like it should, however the airbag light lights and stays lit, any idea what this means? cheers

You need to run Vagcom diagnostics and this will tell you where the fault lies, it's most probably a broken ABS sensor on one or more of the wheel hubs.

You have a fault on the airbag system,get it scanned for error codes.

no the switch was already bust before the mot, placed new switch in now and get the airbag light staying on
