Hi everyone,
This must be a familiar one for all you old hands out there, but Im new to all this. I bought my A4 Avant TDi from my local main dealer about 5 years ago as an Audi Warranted used car. It had one prior owner, and was great. After about a week, a Air Bag Warning light came on. So straight back to the dealer. They plugged in the computer, decided it was a bad connection, poked around under the passenger seat, reset the trip, and off we went. Same thing has been happening on and off since then.
Things changed at the dealer about 18 months ago. The light came on and the wife took the car in. It was connected to the computer. They isolated the problem, and refused to return the keys unless we parted with £40.
Weve stopped using the dealer, and we have a good independent that looks after the car. Guess what happened last week. So Ive got VAG-COM and its found this code.
1 Fault Found:
01218 - Side Airbag Igniter: Passenger Side (N200)
32-00 - Resistance too High
I reckon its the same intermittent bad connection. Is it safe to remake the connection, and then clear the fault code? If so how do clear the code?
