Hi All,

 

Another problem!

 

I had the drivers side electric seat stop moving so I read on here an unplugged what I thought was the connector to reset the seat.

 

Turns out it was the airbag connector and I now have the airbag light on on the dash.

 

I have managed to find the 3 plugs under the seat which I unplugged and plugged back in again which has got the seat moving.

 

So I fixed one problem and created another.

 

Is the only way to remove the airbag light with the PROSCAN V400 which is circa £35 on ebay or VCDS (This seems to be about £500 on ebay???)? Is there any other way to turn the airbag light off (I have reconnected the connector).

 

Any advise appreciated. Car is due MOT soon so need to get this fixed asap.

 

Thanks,

 

Ben

 

 

 

You can pic up a scanner that will do it for around £25 (great wee tool) 

its a vag 405

or im sure if there's a member close with vcds they would do it for you 

 

Thanks Gizmo, 

 

Much appreciated.

 

Looking at it it does not appear to come with a cable? What cable would I need and is there a guide anywhere on where to plug it into the car?

 

Thanks Again,

Brilliant wee scanners 

I have vcds but one of these as well

handy to have for any vag owner 

How much is VCDS out of interest? Is it worth the additional cost?

£270 for the one I have but it's discontinued now,there's a new version out,prices start at £350 for a 3 vin one 

 

there great kits,going to invest in the unlimited vin one in the next couple of weeks,it's £450,sounds expensive but worth it 

Hey Gizmo,

 

Found this, its £225 for a 3 VIN one, with a $169 upgrade to 10 VIN or Unlimited (Not sure if you have to go to 10 prior to going to unlimited)

 

 

That's it,cheaper than I thought,if you can go for that
