    Seat Occupied Sensor - Bypass on S3 / A3 8L?

    Update: Issue resolved I replaced the airbag ECU with a unit from eBay which was £10 delivered to test although decided to go for an older unit. I swapped out 8L0 959 655 J for L , cleared the codes and boom no more airbag light or error for seat occupancy sensor, I've no idea what caused this...

    S3 Armrest Question

    Seat Occupied Sensor - Bypass on S3 / A3 8L?

    Another update, I picked up some standard recaro leather seats lastnight but i'm still having the same code being thrown up. There must be some other lead somewhere that the car is missing? I have attached a picture of the bottom of the seat connectors, There is a black plug which has nothing...

    Seat Occupied Sensor - Bypass on S3 / A3 8L?

    I've just been outside and removed the passenger seat, pulled some of the carpet up to try and find any connectors that the previous owner may have tried to hidden but all i can see is: Yellow plug which i have popped a fused resistor on (this works preventing side airbag error) Red plug with...

    Seat Occupied Sensor - Bypass on S3 / A3 8L?

    Hi All, Has anyone done the popcorn limiter to their B7 2.0TDI? I have the 140 BLB engine? I have my cars map file but unable to read it in the same software I used to popcorn and launch control my PD150 Leon as it doesn’t pick up all the addresses for the audi. I’m looking for someone that...

    Audi A4 2.0TDI B7 (140)...Spark Plugs...after ECU remap?

    HI Ant, The TDI uses Glowplugs, unless you have cold start issues or it struggles to crank sometimes I wouldn’t bother touching them, Not a massive job but is fiddly as the cam cover needs to come off. I recently just changed the glow plugs on my 2.0TDI BLB engine with no difference, the ones...

    2.0TDI - BLB - GT1749VA - Turbo options ?

    HI All, I was wondering if anyone has looked into replacing the 2.0TDI BLB turbo with a OEM replacement rather than going down the hybrid route? – possibly the same on other cars such as the Skoda’s passats maybe? While this is by no means a performance car, I wouldn’t mind a bit more power...
