Air Bag Light

So srs is the right rfr for airbag light on.
The light in question was red and had "AIR BAG" written on it

Thanks Baz,
I'll note that in my little blue notebook so when I have forgotten (Probably by Monday lol)I can refer back. It's getting full since coming on here!

Me personally I would get into the habit of using the VTS online testing manual before entering results by depressing F5. Look into section 5.4 and the reason for rejection has a NOTE applied to it that reads;

A passenger airbag that has been switched off is not a reason for rejection.

Pass and Advise.

But I didn't think you had red hair Dave - the belly's about right though 

So, is this a way the customer can get round having to recieve a fail?

If the customer says the passenger air bag has been turned off (be it by the disable switch OR disabled electronically) how are we to know any different?

So Pass and Advise and note customer coments?

I would agree @daveg, VOSA would not instruct turning it on again, test as presented. The idea of the presenter telling you what decision to make now, I would not have put it in those terms. Perhaps 'providing you with information which might be helpful' would be closer. A subject which might deserve a debate of it's own.

Came back today for a retest. Audi it was 1999 A6 I asked guy what the fault was and how much it cost him (we pointed him to a VAG specialist). He says his brother has a garage and he fixed it, thought it was a fuse.
I sit in car light is defo off now but..... doesn't come on when ignition first switched on and pre checks done so I recon bulb has been removed or light imobilised.
Went to VTS to fail it and couldn't only advice button available so did that.

Just thought though if he sells that car to someone then it probably has airbags inoperative but driver would't know because no warning light on. I think thats worse than having it on all the time like you could pre 20th March at least ANY driver of that car knows there's an air bag fault. silly innit!

It hasn't been well implemented.

No doubt there are reasons or more likely excuses, but the bottom line remains that in its current format the scheme is being undermined.
