Hi folks,
Long time no speak! Hope you're all well. The world of professional geekery has kept me away for some time but I've got a bit of a panic that's made a quick return more than justifiable!!!
I've got to take the car down for an assessment to do with work tomorrow, and I've been told that it needs to be clear of warnings. I recently fitted a Recaro interior (from an S3) to my baby; but haven't yet done the necessary plug-swapping and stuff to connect the airbags (all the gear is waiting for me at a dealership but I've not been able to get down there either); so I've got resistors in the plugs (maybe .1 ohm out though). When I reconnected the battery it still threw an airbag light though...
So... My query is in a few parts really...
1) Can anyone who's done this before vouch that this is perhaps normal, and after clearing with VAG-COM it will stay gone?
2) Is is safe to say that no A3s were built with the Airbag control unit which goes faulty when scanned with VAG-COM?
3) If clearing with VAG-COM doesn't work, and the problem is persistent, is there any other quick way I might be able to get this light to go out and stay out?
Thanks in advance for ANY suggestions at all /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (no matter how weird and wonderful they are!)
