my audi a3 has an airbag warning light which is permanently on . i have had it in the garage and they have scanned it and all the airbags are working ok but to get the light to go out i would have to change the door airbag initiator or something like that but he said that it is quite an expensive job.does anybody know of a way i can just put the light out.

stick some duct tape over it. problem solved, or ignore it
Is it not possible to source the part from a breakers yard?

I don't think you can "just put the light out", for example by removing the bulb.
Perhaps someone in the know can confirm this, but I understand that the airbag warning system is now checked as part of the MOT, if the bulb is on permanently, or if the bulb fails to illuminate as a check for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on then this will result as a failure.
I'd suggest sourcing the part from a breakers yard if a new one is expensive.

donr,
Don't know allot about Audi's, but some other makes have airbag connecters under the front seats. I had a Laguna with similar prob. I waggled wires under passengers side front seat & light went out, then cleaned up & reconnected connector, prob never came back. Common fault with Reno's.
Can you deactivate or activate the passengers side front airbag? See if that takes the light off.
