I've got a small problem with my airbag light being permanently on. I've spoken to the previous owner, who assures me that the airbag system is intact and working. He sent me an email explaining how to turn the light off.
The steering wheel is a newer one than the car (3 spoke not 4) and the connectors don't match with the T-reg ones. If you lift the back seat and look at the drivers side bulkhead you will see an L shape cut in the panel under the speaker grill. There are two wires which can be crimped back together for the light to be switched off. The heads of the connectors were cut off because they were incompatible
Whilst I kinda trust the guy I don't know enough about cars to understand what I'm doing. Does anyone know what these wires are exactly? And what happens when I crimp them to turn the light off. I spoke to a guy at my local Audi dealers who said due to legal reasons they wouldn't touch it. Only thing they would do would be happy to replace the entire steering wheel with the standard. Obviously this would cost a friggin' fortune.
If anyone can offer any advice, I'm all ears.
