chromedome Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 The airbag warning light is normally caused by a faulty coil/clock spring on the steering wheel. Don't know why the passenger seat should cause the problem probably just coincidence. Do a search for clock spring for instructions how to change it. Quote
SilverBeast Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 The airbag warning light will be for anything in the system. Could do with VAG-COM/VCDS reading. If the OP means that the passenger backrest was tipped forward then I suppose the wiring to the side airbag, which I believe is in the seat back may have been damaged. Quote

If you want to pop over some time I can run a scan for free. I will send you a Personal Message with contact details. Cables are available from ebay here and the free versions of the software are available from the manufacturers site (link to this in the ebay listing). The cable linked to looks the same as the one I got. Quote
