Hi People

My airbag light's been on for a couple of weeks - cleared it a couple of
days ago with VAG-COM but now it's popped back and it's no longer an
"Intermittent" code.

I wonder if anyone with the factory service guide can help me? Here's the
code:

Control Module Part Number: 8D0 959 655 C
Component and/or Version: Airbag 7 Audi 0301
Software Coding: 00102
Work Shop Code: WSC 06335
1 Faults Found:
01217 - Side Airbag Igniter: Driver Side (N199)
32-00 - Resistance too High

Is this a part I can clean/replace/have a look at myself?

Cheers,

James

The only sensible answer to that question is, "if you have to ask, then you
should definitely leave it alone.

That word "igniter" may give a clue as to why

I had an airbag (in the seat) replaced for free outside the warranty, when
the car was 3 or 4 years old. I think there was some kind of recall. My A4
is a model from March 1997.

Good point. I guess I should go ahead and take advantage of my warranty
