after repalcing the perspex on my clocks I reconnected the steering wheel but forgot to connect the cable for the airbag and now the damn light is on any way of reseting it ???

Go to your dealer. They can fix it in a minute. I had a similar problem on my mk5 after installing an armrest.

How did you go about changing the perspex on the clocks?

 

[j.cavo]

removed the car battery then proceeded to strip the airbag from the steering wheel then i took the wheel off removed the clocks then got a differnt set of seat clocks

the clocks then split into two theres the cover with the perspex and the instrument pannel i just took the cover as my old 1 was cracked

but when i rigged the car up and started it i forgot to connect the air bag at the steering wheel that damn little plug

I found an even easier way to turn off the light, as am lazy and couldn't be bothered removing half of the interior to find the fault I simply removed the light and fitted a blank switch in it's place lol. No more annoying light!!!
Gotta take another look at it thought I suppose lol

airbag light doesnt effect MOT. got mine reset with a cheap vagcom lead on ebay and a friendly member of ED38 sending me some software.

it was their mistake so they fixed it for free, but generaly they never charge for that.
Also you could wait until the next service or find someone who has VAG-COM
