Title: Mk6 GTi
Post by: DeWetvR on March 05, 2024, 08:11:37 am

I bought a repairable writeoff last week and heaps of issues that I'm working through.

Biggest one for me is an front passenger's airbag fault.
I read some people triggering this while installing an aftermarket head unit and testing before everything is plugged back in. This car has one installed but since I didnt install I'm not sure what to check and what should be pligged in or if there is something needed missing from the install.

Can someone help please?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240305/a620450fab7c1ec775d3d41c06d0d83f.jpg)

Should be a switch for passenger airbag in glove box or end of dash , might be disconnected

Cool thanks, will have a look.

There are some trim trim missing by the centre console, is the lamp located in the bit that goes around the heater/aircon controls? Its missing but didnt see any wires hanging there thats disconnected.
Bought the missing bit but got one without the airbag light

I removed the climate controls and found the lamp wiring :(
Will get it and try clearing the code again.
