I recently purchased an '04 Allroad as a 3rd car (daughter is a new driver, although the car is NOT hers alone). The airbag light was on during my pre-purchase inspection and I read the threads about the zip tie fix as well as the "cut-out" the connectors fix. All great information.

I finally got my own VAG scanner (Max Scan) and read the airbag codes. I'm getting the same Side Airbag Igniter: Driver side (N199) sporadic 001-Upper Limit Exceeded (see attached image)

My question: Did the zip tie fix this error code or did you need to do the connector cut-out the keep the code from returning? Also, does anyone know if the entire airbag system shut down and non functional when the dash light is on? If my daughter gets into an accident, will non of the airbags function until the fault code is cleared?

Thanks for your help.

 

Did you already zip tie the connector? The best thing to do would be to clear the code and see if it comes back. If it doesn't, its likely the zip tie solved your problem. If it DOES come back, then it could be the airbag module, a short someplace else, or just that the zip tie didn't help the loose connector.

Even with the light on, all of the airbags should function normally unless the module is kaput. That code just means that the electrical resistance between the driver's side airbag and the module exceeded the upper limit "sporadically."

Has the driver's side airbag been removed recently? Has the airbag light been on constantly since you purchased the car?

Also, you might check out the allroad subforum. It isn't as active as the B5 model forum, but there might be some useful platform-specific threads in there for you.

Hi! Before buying a car, I checked its Vin code at https://epicvin.com/vin-decoder/bentley. It's simple and quick. With the Vin Code you can check the factory data of the car, such as: make, model of the car, year of manufacture or model year, engine displacement and type, body type, country of origin, assembly plant, etc. Even equipment items are shown for some vehicles. Recommended.

 

очень хорошо
