Hey Guys,

The Airbag light has come on and I have put the VAGCOM on and get this error code off.

Do you think the car is safe to drive as it is?

Banneywhey,

The N95 code relates to the steering wheel airbag rather than one of the seat units.
Postings on other forums seem to point to a problem with the steering 'clock spring' connector module or the airbag controller unit as the cause of this fault code, here's an example which may help: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=305132

It might simply be a poor connection with the module or perhaps a fault within the unit, to check you will need to remove the airbag, steering wheel and cowl to get access.

Please take precautions when working with airbag units, they can be very dangerous.
