Hey,
Need some advice regarding my '00 Beetle. Has about 48k miles on it. Yellow. Nice car.
Some months ago, my air bag warning light came on for no apparent reason. I was in the middle of moving and changing jobs at the time, so I ignored it. Later, I continued to ignore it for no good reason whatsoever. Finally, I relented and brought my car in to a VW dealer this morning to have it looked at.
They told me that I have a defective instrument cluster, and that I should replace it at a cost of about $400. I'm not even sure what an instrument cluster is. I thought it was a whole panel of dials and stuff behind your dashboard, but obviously they're not proposing to replace the entire dashboard for 400 bucks. What's the deal?
Curiously, my airbag light was no longer lit up after I got my car back, even though they didn't actually fix anything. What should I do?
Thanks, Frank
