01217 - Side Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N199) 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded - Intermittent - MIL ONI put leathers into my 3dr a couple of weeks ago, all was fine at first. After a few miles the cluster airbag light started coming on.
Sometimes if I cleared it, it'd not return for a bit. Now it's on pretty much constantly.
It's come on with both the passenger and drivers side, mainly the latter and never happened before with my cloth seats.
Plugs seem to be in fully, I've come to the conclusion that I have to do the mod here
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2815467. The seats were made just before this bulletin so it seems promising.
My question is - has anyone else done this mod to solve this issue and did you cut & solder both the seat to floor wires, as well as the plug on the seats themselves?
Thanks
