Airbag fault after disconnecting the clocks
« on: 14 April 2012, 17:42 »
Took my clocks out earlier to clean the dust out from behind. Now i have an airbag fault, whicj i never had before.

think you need someone with vagcom to reset your air bag light?

Well that's a bit of a s**t, but at least it can be fixed. Anyone got VAGCOM in Gloucestershire, or near St.Ives (off on hols there soon)

The way to avoid the airbag light in future is to keep the ignition off while the clocks are out :afro:
