I have an AUDI A4 2001, and the airbag light has been on for a while now. I was told there was a problem with models of around that period where moisture from the A/C leaks onto the unit therefore causing a short circuit. I dont know how true that is. I have been quoted over £500 by AUDI to replace the unit. I cannot really afford that. Is there anyway i can turn the light off.

Pull codes, post codes.

Find out what the code refers to first...it likely is not the main airbag module but rather the connection under the drivers/passengers seat. Common problem. I typically connect my VAG and clear the code, if it does not stay off - I wiggle the wires under the drivers side seat, clear codes until the airbag light stays off.
I cannot figure out how to remove the harness - very tight under there and I am not motivated to remove the seat to fix it.
- it is likely just a flimsy connection that won't require a big expense...but pull the code to confirm.
