I think I've posted this in the wrong section but too late now -DOH!
For what it's worth, the fault code that comes up for the G85 is something like:

Hello,
I'm currently undertaking a DQ500 gearbox swap (from DQ250)
From what I've been told the DQ500 is CAN-bus only rather than the additional K-line on the DQ250 so should be plug and play aslong as you have the pins all going to the rig ones
I've had VCDS plugged in and it seems to...
Yeah basically, only butcher the actual loom as that's replaceable (ideally a spare as I did) - I might be able to get that loom I did back this weekend so I'll pm you about it if I do
Thanks
Hi Kyle,
I didn't need to buy another slip ring but that could have been because of what slip ring I have as standard or it could just have been the bodgery of it all as there's no guarantee the airbag will deploy with this mod - I looked at trying to swap the airbag ecu but no idea if it would...
Hello Muzzuz,
It was a case of buying another airbag loom and re-pinning it - I cant remember off the top of my head which pins go where to sort it without referring to the loom that I butchered.
Sorry I cant be more help, I could ask for the loom/try to get pictures of the loom to show what I...
Can anybody post a link to how to wire the airbag to get rid of the airbag light on an A3 8P? cant seem to find out how even on google
p.s I already know the airbag may not deploy, if I was bothered then I wouldn't have fitted it
Hello,
I was thinking the other day about my mfsw swap and the airbag light being on.
Is it not possible to buy an airbag module and have it coded to the car that is from an '06 onwards (dual stage airbag) car? and hopefully then the airbag will deploy as it should with no wire butchering...
bump, is there something about the later buttons with the thumb wheels not talking with the line of brushed aluminium round?
*edit: I've tried searching but nobody seems to have the issue I have haha!
It's probably one for such as NHN but the steering wheel is fitted and works - in a fashion
There are some issues :p
- The airbag light is on so it needs re-pinning for double to single airbag
-The MF controls don't perform the correct commands, the buttons work but don't do the correct...
Well that's a good start as I've been reading up for doing this myself for my 8P,
You may need to google regarding whether or not you need the other loom/clockspring with having cruise control but provided you've either fitted the loom (if required) or got the correct loom then it is plug and...
Is it an 8L or 8P? I think (but its from memory) with the 8P,you need a slipring, the steering wheel and coding on vcds but if you have dsg paddles then you have the right slipring
If you use google or search on here, it has been covered before
