Disconnect battery and leave it for about 30 mins just to be sure, thats what I did with mine

Rarther wait 30 mins than for it to go off and have a ratchet stuck in my face

Nice that the 300mm or the 280? sweet! aye they all do that have a pal that had a leon that did it and a bora but I just went to town on it with WD40 seems to have cleared it. spray it till you think youve put far too much on .....then spray a bit more lol

[drennan]

i don't see an airbag light did your 2amp fuse clear it?

[halpo]

280mm
and think it was a 10 amp fuse... looked at the instructions and just went....eh ? haha
then looked at the bits and hey presto made it all good

maybe they sent the wrong one resister from a mk4 golf did the trick
