Default 05 Audi A4 Air bag light

Just purchased an Audi A4 3.2 quattro with 66k on it. This is my first Audi and German car in general. The only issue I see with it when I purchased it was the air bag light is on. The guy who sold it to me told me that it came on about 6 months ago and he believes it to be corrosion of some sort but I don't know how accurate that is. Was wondering if anybody here would happen to know. I had the same thing happen in my Mustang and it was a bad sensor, but like I said I am completely green with Audi's. Any help you could give me is appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

A lot of the time on the A4s, moving the seats too far causes the connector to get pulled and momentarily opened, which will trip the light. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened on your car. Buy an OBD2-to-USB cable from eBay for $20-25 and download the free version of Vagcom from Ross-Tech: Home and that'll allow you to clear the light and scan the system for faults - it'll tell you where the issue is.
