Yes, I experienced the exact same problem 3 weeks ago. When I picked up my car on delivery day, the airbag warning light turned on and would not pass inspection in Massachusetts due to the error code.
It took my dealer about 4 hours to repair. The airbag light comes on for the driver's seat, however, the problem was a small connection from the PASSENGER side airbag and not the driver's bag. They had to take down the headliner trim and re-connect the factory connection for the passenger bag. The wire was located behind the front edge of the trim near the area that the rear view mirror attaches.
The shop only found a generic failure code and not a code that specified the error. They believe it is a manufacturing floor issue. MIne has been good ever since the fix and headliner/trim looks great. Cannot tell they had to go into it.
Best of luck, VG :-)

Sorry for the water issue. I have noticed that my daughter does not close her back door easily (she's 9). I've done a good job of training her to not slam the door... now I just need to get it closed (we dont' have easy close doors in the US). Could that have been an issue? Best of luck getting that sorted out.

The only "issue" I have had so far is my brakes intermittenly make a minor vibration/wobble noise that is felt only when depressing the brakes firmly (I don't know how else to describe it). I hope this goes away after break in....I only have about 300 miles on the car so far.

They might have to remove the rugs to dry them properly. You don't want mold growing - you'll never get rid of it.

It could be from the sunroof drain. Maybe a hose is dislodged and leaking inside. I don't know the car well enough to tell you where to look. It could also be coming in from the trunk.

It has now moved up to the front passenger side front and rear. I am clueless on this matter. Tomorrow I am off and will be taking it into the Audi dealer and hopefully it get's resolved in a timely and painless manner.
