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

i havnt done anything at all different to the car, was ok in the morning then later on just flashed up

it has the side airbags yes, its a 2001 year...

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

yeah will fire up the vag com for sure
