Hey All,

having a problem finding a way to fix airbag dashboard warning light issue on 2005 a4 b6....well more so I am having a hard time finding the sensor to change. I have been unable to find an answer anywhere, and do not have a Bentley manual.

The VagCom looks like this:

Address 15: Airbags Labels: 8E0-959-655-84.lbl
Part No: 8E0 959 655 K
Component: Airbag 8.4EP 1001
Coding: 0010607
Shop #: WSC 63351 000 00000
VCID: 3F8D1B426DB6FAC664-5140

1 Fault Found:
01217 - Side Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N199)
001 - Upper Limit Exceeded - MIL ON


I attempted to change the drivers side g179 sensor near the radiator (no avail), bypassed the sensor under the driver's seat (no help), and have also removed the driver's door panel, but could not find the sensor anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? Best.

So....a little more googling - I am going to try to locate and replace the sensor that is located in the driver's side B-pillar tonight...will update after.
