I have a 2000 vw golf gti and the airbag light keeps coming on. I have had it turned off twice now by the garage who say they cant find anything wrong with the airbag system. I have trawled the internet looking for someone who has solved this problem, a lot of people have had this problem but nobody knows how to fix it. The came on this time when the drivers seat was adjusted. I checked under the seat, there are some wires which i checked and none of them were loose. I cant bare to pay volkswagen another 95 euro an hour to plug a computer in and hit enter. Can someone please help me.

i''ll help...

i took my car to the dealer for this same issue, mine was also caused by moving the driver seat. they said it was something in the seatbelt itself that has faulted. to fix the issue would cost $495. they also said that "the airbag could randomly go off or may not work at all."

help?
