Default question for Teddy, Boston or anybody that changed seats

due to the untimely demise of my A6 I moved into an Allroad (05 6mt blk/blk). I hated the interior so I the interior w/ the A6... I lost the dog netting(but don't have a dog) But now I have an AIRBAG light on. I've checked the connection and it's still there.

Default VAG COM will tell you, but did you check all connections for rear seat?

VAG COM will tell you exactly what the problem is. I know going from the stock 4.2 seats (the rear seats had 2 shoulder belts and one lap belt in the middle) to the 2003 RS6 seats (with 3 shoulder belts), I had to change recode the airbag module to reflect three seatbelts in back.

Anyway, you might want to look at the VAG COM errors.

Just curious...did the allroad have side airbags in the rear?

Default meh not a bad wreck

avoided somebody and hit a curb and stop sign. it killed the control arms and wheel. they said parts were 9k and value was 11k so total. I bought it for 2k and sold the trans and long block. I kept the stg 3 and everything else. I wanted an Allroad for a long time now so it worked out kind of.
