Airbag indicator

Audi A4 1997  196000 miles
Hello, I have recently bought an Audi a4 2.8 and my problem is that the airbag indicator turns on and then off, and sometimes remains blinking. How can I solve this? I would as well like to know what "in 2" (complementary services) means or at least what it refers to, as I've changed the oil and filter and it keeps turning on. If anyone can help me, I will be really glad. Thank you.

The vehicle's seats have sensors that detect whether they are empty or occupied, both by the driver or a passenger. It is normal that, when driving alone, the passenger's airbag light remains turned on, which means that it is deactivated because there is no one in the co-driver's seat. But, if a passenger is with you, the light turns off, meaning that it is now activated, just like yours.

Need more details. What has been done to the car reguarding airbag?
Maybe its the 'Seat Occupancy Sensor' fitted under the seat...

So far nothing has been done to the airbag , the sensor light on the dashboard just came up , and when connected to a scan it indicates the crash sensor is not working.
Thank you for your answer

Audi A4 not starting

Audi A4 2005 2l tdi 1705000 miles
Got in my audi a4 earlier (2005 model) turned the ignition on... nothing working on the dash apart from the handbrake light and airbag light. Crank it, starts briefly then died. Won't start, dash lights and gauges not functioning at all! now i know that if it starts then dies straight away it's usually an immobiliser issue, but why would the dash not work? long shot, but anyone had this before? i know there are a few people on here with a4's,

Lights flashing

Audi A4 2006 Manual  150000 miles
I have an oil pressure sign on the glow plug sign is flashing the ESP warning is on. I've been losing power every so often driving and today I was over taking and all the above warning lights have come on.
I pulled over turned car off and waited when I went to turn car back on it took a while to turn over and start, I wasn't far from home so I turned round and headed the 15min drive back half way hm battery light came on as well and car died so I waited and got it going again it took a bit to turn over. I got home its booked in with an Audi garage tomorrow but being a girl I would like a rough idea of what's going on any ideas thanks
