    The Airbag/Seat belt retention light came on last week in my wife's passat. Its a 2005 comfortline ( new shape ) . Is this a major problem and what is the most common remedy . i rang a vw garage and they want 98e plus vat to do a diagnostics check . I understand that i'll probably have to bite the bullet and get it done.
    My wife said a dog ran out in front of her and she had to jam on . Would this have anything to do with it maybe .
