Airbag warning light - what have I done?

[vidacalavera]

Since getting my S3, I've been getting it ship shape. Although it was pretty clean, the previous owner had spilt a nasty drink and tobacco (I think it was) down the centre trim. This weekend I took the centre trim out and gave it a thorough clean and took the opportunity to do an ashtray delete and generally tidy it up. Everything went back together fine - air con face, centre plastic trim bolted back, DSG plugged back in, surrounds clipped back in, armrest bolted back. Everything is back fine and working - except I now have an airbag light on. This baffles me as I haven't been anywhere near an airbag or the glovebox. I've had the seats back wards and forwards but can't see any wires underneath that I might have caught. Can anyone shine a light on this for me? What have I done?

I'd scan it first to see what airbag it is, Could be the steering wheel to the seats, No point in ripping things apart without knowing where the problem is

That's good advice. I've been trying to find someone close to me that could do it with no luck! If anyone knows anyone in the Doncaster/Barnsley area that could plug me in, I'd appreciate it.

Sadly way too far south for me. Check the VCDS map.

Sounds like it's probably something to do with the seats moving, check under the flap for a loose or trapped pre-tensioner wire or something, unless you've knowingly unplugged anything, it's the most likely cause.

That's what I thought may have happened but not sure where exactly. I'll get a read out I think.

I hope that's what it is. I'm in Doncaster mate.

Just a heads up if you're in the Doncaster/South Yorkshire area - I went and got my airbag warning light issue sorted over the weekend, as well as getting a few little extras coded in and am very happy! So if you need anything like this doing, I highly recommend contacting Adam at South Yorkshire VCDS (he's on here and also has FB page).
