Swompy 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Just had my daily (mk3 estate) MOT'd and one of the failures was the airbag light staying on (if it was tested on the 14th of march it wouldnt have been a problem :mad2:) I know the seats arent the original one and was wondering if this would cause the light to stay on. Something to do with the restraint straps :scratch: Whats the best way around this. A resistor across the wires is what I have found but not what rating to use?

Dox 23 Posted March 25, 2013 Needs a scan. My MK3 CL estate on an S plate had no seat or passenger airbags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Will be scanning it asap. Only air bag it has is the one in the steering wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted March 25, 2013 Will be scanning it asap. Only air bag it has is the one in the steering wheel. I may have a bag for a 4 spoke, ecu too. You may find the seat belt pretensioners are part of the system too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted March 26, 2013 The other possibility is that the ribbon cassette behind the steering wheel is faulty. It is bolted to the back of the wheel and maintains contact with the airbag as it is turned. It is very easy to change. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
