Ok Airbag light !!, I go to the Garage they do 1 1/2 hours work and still the module is u/s and the light is on, apparantly the "New" one I was sold is from a crashed car and the computer comes up "crash data stored" and will not re-set. Now the Geezer who sold it to me still maintains it was new but claims he has one from a crashed car and it it said the same and he got it re-set. So, is there anywhere that can re-set this module am I going to have to bite the bullit and pay £600 for a brand spankers one ?

cheers Andy

 

Don't know if it can be re-set with a vagcom or not. Perhaps check with Ross-tech. If so, find someone with the requisite VAG-com and registered programming.

 

same problem man .. its dumb ... so how do you access the air bag sensors to clean them , they are located under the seat right ? ... is it expensive to have your code reset ?

 

cost me 20$ to get my code pulled, cleared, and a printout of the code number and fault description

 

E-Mailed Ross-Tech, the problem I am having with my "new" module is a non starter it has to be replaced, butm I have found a guy in Germany who for £60 repairs/re-sets the module, so I think I'll send off my Origional module for repair and see how I go. Does anyone know if these can be repaired ?

Got my module back today from Germany, had an internal memory error which has been cleared, this guy is great and saves you literrally hundreds.

 

Let us know how it holds up in a while. If this guy is good, perhaps Jest can add him to the list of resources.

Good luck

 

Getting it re-installed on the 1st of Sept so will let you know, also I have found on Ebay a Draper tool for re-setting Audi dash lights that plugs in like the vag-com for £30, I suggest you all buy one I am.

dam. my airbag light came on about two weeks ago after taking it to the car wash so i took it to the shop and it said passenger right rear to much pressure or somtheing like that. os he cleaned it out looked at the sensor it was good cleared the light and now everytimne i get a wash it comes back on. so annoying

 

Ok just to let you all know, my airbag light is now out !!!!, but the draper tool I told you about didn't work for me, it only goes up to a 98 model. But the guy in Germany is great £60 rather than Audi's £680, going by his feedback on E-Bay it's 100%, also he gives you a refund if it doesn't work.

His website is www.airbagnews.com

hope you all get sorted
