Should most any shop with diagnostic equipment be able to troubleshoot: 1) Air bag indicator light and 2) problem with cruise control not working. Also can the indicator light be re-set? After a short time of ownership, we've decided to sell our 98 A4 Quatro 1.8 Turbo. It isn't working out for my wife and her business needs. I would like to correct these items before selling.

I'm assuming the air bag light issue is due to the fact that the passenger side air bag cover is a jar and bag is exposed!! I've complained to the dealership that repaired the vehicle for the previous owner but to no avail. I'm taking it to a local body shop to have adjusted so the cover will fit as it should. I would assume that the light would need to be reset or whatever at an automotive repair center rather than a body shop.

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated on this!!

Thanks!

 

The airbag cover coming loose probably has nothing to due with the airbag light. If your lucky some connections just need to be cleaned. Otherwise youll need a new airbag. The cruise not working is probably the switch, but most people wont even notice the cruise doesnt work untill after theyve bought the car.
