The Warning light has just come on for the Airbags has just come on.

VCDS reports faults for G179 Air bag sensor driver's side. There's also another fault in one of the CANBUSes.

I believe on this car said sensor is in the driver's door. and looking up the details of the CANBUS fault, that can also be in wiring loom to the door.

So it's quite like we're gonna need that bit of loom replacing.

Any comments?

Anyone recommend a good Auto electrician in Herts or N. London?
 

 

Yes, just had the same fault. Wiring replaced by independent garage. Do Skoda use particularly brittle cables?

Yes, there is a design flaw, but Skoda is not the only manufacturer which cuts corners: a colleague of mine just fixed the wiring loom to the boot lid of his BMW 530d, which also suffered from broken wires.

My BMW 525d estate was cursed with the problem. Like VAG, the issue seemed to be that the looms are just a little too short.
