My first post, so not sure if it's in the right forum.
Car: 54 Octavia 1.9TDi 105PD
After having a near miss, hard breaking and the obvious horn bashing my dreaded airbag warning light came on.
I've had it scanned with a VAG305 (any good?) by a friend at work, and it gave me this error:
0588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95): Resistance too Low
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95): Resistance too High
Possible Symptoms
Airbag Warning Light active Possible Causes
Wiring from/to Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95) faulty
Coil Spring with Slip Ring (F138) faulty
Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95) faulty
Possible Solutions
Check Wiring from/to Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)
Check Coil Spring with Slip Ring (F138)
Check Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)
After doing a reset it went off for a few seconds then came back on, indicating a real fault i'm guessing.
My question is how can it be fixed. Could I try myself or should I take it in to a dealer and be prepared to get ripped off, I mean pay a inflated price.
Any help much appreciated.
