Building a Street Prepared Mk1 TT

I don't have a VAGCOM there are just enough floating around locally that it's easy to get the car scanned by someone. I don't know what else would trigger the light as it was not on before the seat install.

I figured that it is probably just not a good connection and that I have to fiddle with it. As simple as this is, my history with messing with the electronics on this car isn't stellar so I figured I'd see what bonehead mistake I might have made. Thanks for the helpful reply!

Are you using the stock seatbelt receptors with your new (aftermarket?) seats? A disconnected seatbelt receptor will turn on the airbag light as well. Keep in mind that using a VAG-COM is the only way to actually clear an airbag light, you have to go into the airbag module and clear all faults. You can't just do a general code clear or disconnect the battery to get it off.

Yup

Yup, that's what was tried, clearing the code through the airbag module. Code returned immediately.

Fixed! Hooray for no airbag light.
