Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / May 2007Air Bag Warning Light 2003 1.9 TDi Audi
I disconnected the battery on my 1.9 TDi 2003 Audi while changing the timing belt. I now find that I have a Air Bag Warning light on all time. Any easy way of resetting or do I have to go to my local friendly dealer? >I disconnected the battery on my 1.9 TDi 2003 Audi while changing the timing >belt.

If its the same as a MkIV Golf then it needs resetting - dealer or independant with the equipment. I got charged £35 by my small local independant garage - he blamed the very high cost of the equipment and software. AIUI the airbags are deactivated while the light is on .

Only restriction is you cannot save settings and does not list the description of the faults encountered, only the fault number (then google the fault code for the english description!) Just need to make sure the vag-com cable available on ebay is suitable for a 2003 Audi. I have one for a mk4 golf, the latter VW/Audi's are slightly different I think. >>>>>I disconnected the battery on my 1.9 TDi 2003 Audi while changing the >>>>>timing belt.

Ah, thats more like it - previous comments withdrawn ! Thanks Robert > Just need to make sure the vag-com cable available on ebay is suitable for a > 2003 Audi.

If it's a very late old-shape A3, the free download and ebay cable will be fine, for a later one, maybe not. |
