Default Airbag light. I checked the code and it said:

00588 - Airbag Igniter: Driver Side (N95) 32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent

I unplug/plug Yellow connector under the driver seat several times clear the code with VAG and Airbag light came back after ~30min. Yellow connector under the seat and wires look like new... not torn

NOTE:>>Buttons on SPORT Wheel is functioning fine and light is on.

What is the next step? -> replace the clock spring?

thanks

well the one under the seat is for the seat airbag. Which is would say "Side airbag igniter - Drivers side" This is indicating the actual drivers steering wheel airbag has too much resistance. The yellow connector is under the lower trim. The clock spring could be bad, contact that spins with the wheel could be it, airbag itself. I have used stuff called "DEOXIT" contact cleaner with gold and have gotten many VW/Audi's with the seat airbag code to go away perminatly.
