Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179)

[jmt]

Can someone confirm where is the drivers side side-airbag crash sensor in my Superb (2009 1.4 manual sedan, ambiente). Im getting the below code.

I disconnected and connected all the electrical connections under seat and this didnt help, which makes me guess the sensor is somewhere inside the drivers door.

If this is the case, is there somewhere guidance how to remove the door panel?

The code Im getting:

In my Golf it is under the carpet in front of the seat next to the inner sill, I know on some later cars they are located inside the door.

 

 iirc they cost over £100 to replace.

Yep my superb had to get a scrape on the left front door fies and the body shop took th door off , but he started the car whilst the door was disconnected and the computer didn't detect the impact sensor on the door and airbag light came on, luckily a garage was next to his bodyshop and he connected his computer and reset the sensor and the light went out
