but if there saying its the switch.....replace it?

sometimes it's just a bad contact that lits up the airbag light,,, dunno if it's the case but worth a check in another garage and a search [here, on google and other VAG related forums] with EXACT code number and message.

I got the same problem after my car went to revision because a crack in the steering wheel.

The error and the indicator was cleaned twice and the light came again. The same error, low voltage.

At this moment the car is with the dealer, they will change the airbag ring under warranty. I hope this will be the last time that I visit the dealer for that situation.
