    Hi Everyone,

    first of all, thanks to all who take time to respond, this forum is a gem for newbies like me. I have an Audi A4 - 1999 with a 1.6 engine. i have the ABS light ON and on checking with VAG-COM, the following error code came up:

    01218 - side airbag igniterassenger side (n200)
    32-10 - resistence too high - intermittent

    I tried to clear it, and the light went away for 15 minutes, then came back again. Does anyone know what the issue maybe and how can I resolve it?

    regards

    I am no super expert but i know there is a connector underneath each the front seats (one for each side airbag) - the connector can get a bad connection. I would recomend that you turn the ignition off and then try to take apart and clean the connector underneath the seat (contact cleaner) or maybe eveb WD40 should do... then try to reset and see if it comes back.

    hope that helps
