[V8] Recall Fun

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

So did they do the basic debug step of pulling codes?
My bet is they triggered the light by turning on the car with the airbag
circuits not connected properly, or you simply need to reset the light with the
VAG-COM after installation.

I really doubt Audi sent the wrong module. You have to wonder how a system that
was working on the day they tore into it suddenly developed a wiring problem
under the dash?

Sounds like monkee lad syndrome to me.
