You need vagcom or a garage to do it. If you do it yourself you need to be veery careful as its easy to damage the airbag controller

When I purn the key I am getting smoke out of the back of the steering wheel. Could this be the reason the light is on?

Smells like buring wires!!!! :shock:

To fix that you would need to have the wheel off and spray all the contacts of the stalks with a contact cleaner spray
