  1. Hi, more than a year later reverting to this topic...and in case anybody is still interested/could in best case provide some new tips, the problem is still there. Meanwhile, the local dealer has changed several parts, re-coded them, etc. etc. but the **** light remains dead unless it is forced to activate using a tester. There are no fault codes whatsoever in the system. The dealer thinks it has to be a coding problem of some sort instead of hardware failure...I don't know. I wonder if there's a parameter value somewhere hidden (and obviously set wrong) that adjusts the lights including airbag led that are lit upon ignition. Just cannot understand nobody at the manufacturer knows about this problem or how to solve it.
  2. Gaang, very familiar sounding story! My car is LHD with x51 kit. The problem is really getting on my nerves as I cannot legally drive the car here on public roads as long as it remains open (the car does not simply pass the annual inspection...maybe I have to give up and tow it to a junkyard;). The dealer has already updated the related software, changed some sort of a "data bus router" communicating with the airbags, checked the airbags etc. ... to no avail. Also a replacement cluster has been tested without success...but pls note even the original cluster may indeed be forced to activate the airbag light using a tester! So at least I advice you not to invest in a new cluster as it probably solves nothing. I'll keep you updated if anything useful pops up.
  3. Any luck so far? My Carrera S has exactly the same, seemingly rare, problem...the phenomenon is being examined by the local dealer but obviously hard to solve (yep, the bulb is just fine) and might have something to do with the data bus and information transfer between the airbag units, associated computers and the instrument cluster instead.
