Just for kicks, while awaiting the resolution of my airbag warning light (and VAG-COM error 65535), I tried pulling out fuse #5, which according to the manual is supposed to control the warning lights including the airbag warning light.

Yet with fuse #5 pulled, the airbag warning light still comes on... Would I need to do something to make it 'take effect', like unplugging the battery or something?

Thanks.

65536 is repairable, have a look at the Allroad reply from me.
