A6 air bag light
Hi guys I'm new to this forum
I got 2006 A6 3.2 Q and got an airbag light flashing
I went through some postings and they said it has something to do with back seat problem
What is the best solution for this type of problem? Going to local garage and check through VIA COM?
Thanks in advance!

My airbag light just came on (solid) this last week. I have a 2006 as well. They must be timed. 
Unfortunately my warrenty has run out and I have yet to get an extended warranty (issues getting confirmation if the warranty is valid on a US car in Canada). Mine will have to wait for now as I have a fairly lound "grinding" or metal on metal sound when the car is in motion. I'm guessing wheel bearings, but it could be anything. Can't touch the airbag light till that's paid for.

The problem is probably that the weight for a rear seat sensor was exceeded. If the car is under warranty have the sensor replaced. If the car is out of warranty have the sensor/warning light reset and see if it comes back. If it does then pay to have the sensor replaced. If it doesn't, then leave well enough alone.
