glad to be of assistance, what resistance did you use at the end and is it showing occupied or unoccupied?

I use a 470 ohm 1/4W resistor and the sensor detects the seat occupied.

Run VCDS to check the codes first.
If it's an S8 the "usual" problem is the small supplementary sensor in the movable front section of the seat squab. This can easily be dealt with by just shorting it out; there's a thread about it somewhere with a fair few contributions from me. Very easy to do. Edit: See main thread: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114 especially page 4 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114&page=4 And my own thread: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4873

As HP mentions above, the fix he detailed on page 4 does the trick.
It worked for me on my A8, never had a problem again afterwards
