Air Bag Light !!!! Does anyone know if....
I have read on these forums that you can reset the airbag light by disconnecting the battery, I know it resets the radio but does it cause any problems with the immobilizer/remote central locking??? Any help would be appreiciated Rich.

not really if anything thats what caused it, it did in mine anyways, best bet get a $40 code reader off ebay. it says time and money and is a must for a b5 owner because i think we can all agree anything upsets the error codes in our cars.

I have a persistent problem with the light coming on in my 98 A4. My mechanic found a code for the passenger seat bag and reset it. That lasted a few months. The next time it was reset it only lasted a few days. I took it to the dealer and they came up with the same fault code but it didn't distinguish between the bag's trigger or the sensor that sends the code. Anyway, I was quoted $250 but still have not fixed it.

I would get a cheap scanner and erase the fault, dis-connecting the battery can erase the basic settings for the throttle body and cause a check engine light.

when you do any work on the car the ground wire is normally taken off ( some people take both wires off and dont refit properly ) positive + first then the ground because this resets the airbags but wont clear a hard code which is a fault,
most common fault is the passenger airbag because it can be switched off with the key and it tends to have a bad connection ( try cleaning the lock with WD40 ) that's if you have the lock? if not its VAG or other diagnostic
