    Polo GTi 6R Air Bag Fault

    Hi Guys

    Long story short, Airbag light came on randomly the other day - took it to VW to see what was up, and they came back stating that there was a static fault in the airbag harness and would require replacement - the part being $160 and a few hours to fit it, tickling $600 in total.

    Has anyone heard of this happening? Its a friggin harness in a 5 year old car. It should not be breaking.

    Not a common issue, from my understanding.

    Seems like bad luck to me. Maybe try for a goodwill repair before committing to it.
