Air bag warning light on!

[Jacques]

Hi

i have a 1999 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro and the air bag light has been on now for almost a year now and the MOT is coming up soon and i would like to get this issue resolved before it. 

Can anyone help? Thanks

Get it plugged in to a diagnostics and delete the fault, it may not come back 

If does then needs to be investigated depending on the fault code

Welcome to the forum jacques, 

You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

i have to agree with Piotr, your best getting it plugged in a diagnostic machine. 

But to be fair it could as simple as a loose wire found under the passenger seat.

cheers

Used the cable today and has cleared the fault and the Audi passed its MOT very happy 😀

Cool. Sometimes faults are intermitent caused by low voltage or anything else that upsets car electronics  

error didnt come back = happy days !

My B5 has always had it on mine, no amount of moving the !Removed! cable under the passenger chair will stop it, only lasts a day then comes back on, It's a common fault. need a new cable really but meh. !Removed! car constantly needs fixing lol
