Airbag light on

[Kesh]

I understand that components can fail, I'd just like to think that airbags aren't one of them. But then again the same can be said for a lot of other components.

Furthermore, the manual most probably states that you should stop driving immediately.

It may not be the case that all airbags have disabled, although you wouldn't know without plugging in VCDS and looking at fault codes, or asking the dealer.

I thought I would phone the dealer principle and question why for something that is a safety issue they would a) send my wife home in a dangerous car and b) why they would make us wait 2.5 weeks to be fixed.... Well, he was mightily pissed off that the Service Department had done this and seemed as genuinely shocked as I was. He got straight onto it, organised a courtesy car and had the car in and fixed in 3 days. Very impressive... Hopefully the word in their ear will prevent anyone else going through the same thing. Many thanks to Phil for that...
