My audi stopped blowing out heat first and then the check engine light came on. When I took it to get the check engine light code tested it read pressure default. Not long after my air bag light came on. Now my car is leaking coolant.

I purchased a 2004 audi a4 1.8t all wheel drive in october 2010. Carfax says no accidents, flooding, etc. Airbag light came on so I took it to audi of schaumburg, il who said the harness under the seat needed to be replaced and charged $507.77. This is the driver's seat. Several months later the air bag light came on again. Took it to audi exchange in highland park, il and they said it was recommended that the air bag be replaced. However, audi does not guarantee that this fixes the problem. The cost is $900 to replace the airbag but the service manager was going to try to give me some sort of discount. Picking the car up again today. This is a safety issue and audi should recall the cars and fix it for free. If airbags aren't going to deploy then why have them? Why pay money for safety features that don't work?
Passenger side airbag light comes on due to passenger seat harness issues. There is a technical service bulletin however audi will not repair this issue.
I have recently purchased my 2004 audi a4 and the airbag light has recently ignited after my car has passed the 50,000 mile warranty period. Dealership claims I need to pay 300 out of pocket to cover. I believe this to be a manufacture problem as I have not got into any accidents or actions which may have resulted in the airbag going off.
Dt*: the contact stated the airbag light flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined water entered into the airbag contacts located under the cup holder. To remedy the problem the contacts were cleaned.
