2006 2.0Litre B6 Estate hot weather airbag fault

Post by bigpassat06 »

Can I please get some advice.

In very hot weather, like high 20s' up to 30 degrees C the AIRBAG FAULT lights up on my dash. It only seems to happen when the car is left in full sun and the dashboard gets hot to the touch due to the sun. If i know its going to be hot and I crack the windows etc. the problem does not occur. I guess something is heating up to the point where a sensors registers a fault.

The fault is easily resettable by the local garage.

Any ideas of a long term fix? I know the fault light overs the whole system and it could take ages and cost a fortune to find the particular sensor, Im guessing this could prove expensive.

I would appreciate some guidance, please dont get too technical as I know very little about how cars work

Many thanks
