Hi just found your site
Had my Polo since 2000 with continual problems with airbag light coming on and staying on.
Although reset by dealer a couple of times, they said although this was only caused by dust or grit making a bad contact, if it went again it would cost around £100 (part only) to supply an 'O' ring which goes at the back of the steering wheel.
Now its gone again.
When a local garage contacted VW, they were told, there were 2 plastic clips behind the steeering, and they were so brittle they always broke a few when fitting them.
Surely there must be a way to have this corrected, as it apprears like a design fault.
While it has regularly happened on my automatic Polo, it has never happened on my wife's manual Polo, so what is the big problem and why do they want so much to fix it?
Sorry if you see this message twice but new member and think it cut me off before I could get the original post on.
