Airbag Warning/Failure - VW stumped for a week- In loaner still
Just a courtesy post to fellow 15' Golf TDI drivers.
Noticed that airbag warning was showing that BOTH airbags were not working.
Took car in for 30k service, Inspection sticker, and troubleshoot.
Was told code showed I needed new passenger side seatbelt.
Loaner and 3 day wait for parts.
Work performed with new seatbelt installed. Same code error. Same light showing airbags not functioning.
Tech called VW and troubleshooted. They've never seen this. Determined I needed a new chip/sensor of some kind. 2 day wait. Still in loaner.
Just received call that sensor installed. Nothing fixed. Same error code and lights. Was told they are calling VW again. Car def not ready for couple days. Still in loaner.
This sucks. Dealership has been awesome. Service people great. Everything under warranty. But..Still. I hate not having my "new" car over something like this. Hope this does not portend of future issues. I will keep you updated and if anyone can compare stories or enlighten please do.
