Met up with Clive (NZ100) today to try and extinguish an airbag light that has appeared following a seat swap to some rather nice Golf mk4 numbers.

 

Clive will be along later with some pictures of the connectors, but the result is I'm not able to clear the fault codes with VCDS and it generating the following fault codes.

 

Address 15: Airbags        Labels: 6Q0-909-605-VW5.lbl

   Part No: 1C0 909 605 F

   Component: Q5 AIRBAG VW61 Q1Q2 0004  

   Coding: 20789

   Shop #: WSC 33361  

   VCID: 2756EBBFC58BE226FAD-50C8

 

2 Faults Found:

01218 - Side Airbag Igniter; Passenger Side (N200) 

            32-10 - Resistance Too High - Intermittent

01217 - Side Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N199) 

            32-00 - Resistance Too High

 

Any pearls of wisdom to put Clive and I out of his misery?

Yeah unplug them and buy the recaro airbag kit.

Thanks,good idea, save alot of hassle. I would need two kits nearly £80, I only paid £50 for seats. Got from ebay two resistors with P&P for £5, does the same job.

Dragging an old tread up but what size resistors did you use?
