airbag control module -AoA here we go
yes, the expected call from the dealer, "Bad news sir, you have a bad Airbag Control Module. It is $800 for the part and $200 for labor...oh by the way, yes, AoA knows you only have 52xxx on the odo, but you are not the original owner so the field rep has denied any help of any kind" Yea, i bought it with 26xxx odo you jerk...get me a name and a number......Just call customer advocate @ 1-800-fick-you. Anybody got any ammo for me? help...argghhh....thanks..

let us know.. my airbag light is on
It went on shorty after I replaced the washer pumps and got that garden sprinkler light to finally turn off. I just replaced my abs unit to get rid of the brake and abs lights. This warning light sh$t is getting expensive!

The original owner thing is crap.....call the AOA # in your manual......
Explain nicely what happened and tell them you'd like to get some help since you are so close to the warranty expiration.
Then tell them you are young (not sure if you are) and that you will be buying many, many more nice cars in the future including an All-Road for your wife in the next week or so. Explain that you will be going to BMW or Mercedes if this is the kind of quality you can expect from an Audi.
I got a call from my dealership after doing this at 53,000miles. Turbos replaced as a "good will" gesture (I paid labor they paid parts - they do this stuff ALL the time - if it works for you $200 isn't bad). Just be nice and tell the person on the phone that you're quite frustrated and that you're hoping you just found the person who can help.
