Vag-com

Hi, I've been messing about with the front seat and now the airbag light stays on I've tried disconnecting the battery without joy, so I was wondering if there is anyone in the Bristol area that could plug me in and give me a reset?

Cheers Matt.

It may or may not work but wont cost anything;

 

Disconnect battery, unplug airbag connector multiplug on the seat, wait 5 mins and refit in reverse order.

[mattc]

Thanks Richard I will give that a go tomorrow and let you know how it goes..

Cheers Matt.

[mattc]

Nuts... It didn't work, so back to the drawing board if anyone can help.

Cheers Matt.

Ok I get the hint(there's no one in my area), so Which cable and software do I need to buy for my 2004 tdi Zetec auto?

Cheers Matt.

Hi Again, Does anybody know which vag-com lead I need for a 2004 Zetec TDI as I can't work out if I need Can bus or Kline.

Cheers Matt.

Sorry I'm just a bit bored as I broke my leg thursday and now I'm sat in bed for 12 weeks surfing the net :rolleyes:

[mumof4]

[mattc]

Yes Ouch, I was kiteboarding at our local spot and landed badly and managed to break my tib, fib and dislocated my ankle, but s**t happens :rolleyes: .

Hi Wolfie, I fly arcs so my smallest is 10mtrs. I guess that's why I'm now in plaster......

Sorry to take the thread on a tangent, but I thought it only polite to reply :rolleyes:

took a 10m blade out and that was scary enough in a mild wind! plenty of lift! I'll stick to my 3.5 and 4.7 for now and play with other peoples big kites till I'm sure about what I want/need? mind you getting the buggy back up the hill against the wind would be nice, just once will do me ;)

[mattc]

Does anyone know which lead I need?

 

Please help!!!!!!!!!

Before you think of vag com do a search for air bag light and you will see loads of threads that will help you. It could be the clock spring in the air bag. there is a thread somewhere about how to replace it but it's not in the FAQ section so have a look around.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I've tried a spare seat and the airbag light is still stays lit and I've tried taking the battery off without any joy, so I've come to the vag-com. Anyone?

Cheers Matt.

[mumof4]

Sooo...you were fiddling around with the seat, then after that the airbag light came on.

Are you sure you have put everything back the way it should be?wires etc...did any wires split/break?..

You could try disconnecting the battery for 15 mins as i believe that is how long it takes to reset everything.

Gonna sound daft i know, but retrace your steps, Its what i would do.

[mattc]

The story goes; I took the drivers seat out to install a dvd headrest with no problem, Then I did the passenger one but half way through I had to use the car and the airbag light came on because the the seat was missing and when I put the seat back the light wouldn't go out.

I have tried the battery idea with no joy, so I was going to try the vag-com route.

Cheers Matt.

[mattc]

OK then does anyone know how I can find out if my 2004 auto tdi is CAN-BUS?

Cheers Matt.

I was going to check my air bag ecu with vag com but when you try to connect it came up with a warning saying that you can damage the ecu just by trying to connect so I never bothered.
