A3 Questions

["Jon R. Pratt" <jrpratt@brainiac.com>]

I have a couple of questions about my '95 Golf Sport that I haven't been
able to have answered adequately.  I gave the newsgroup one more try,
and didn't get much response.  Maybe Don can help while he is still
patiently active (or anyone).  Sorry about the non-Jetta nature, but the
problems seem to be common to all A3's.  Here goes:

Question 1 concerns the airbag indicator light.  My car has the
indicator to the far left of the dash.  When new, it would be
illuminated for a few seconds when the ignition was turned on then go
out.  Since I removed that piece of the dash, to install a new headlight
switch, the light has been malfunctioning.  Now it comes on, and stays
on for about two minutes before going out.  A few people have responded
that they have had this problem which the dealer has fixed, but they
didn't know how.  Does anyone know how a dealer would fix this problem? 
Is it something I can do?

Question 2 concerns the infamous door squeek.  I have one in my
passenger side door.  I would like to try installing the so called
"friction tape" or "teflon tape" or whatever it is that the dealers use,
but I have never had an adequate description so that I might purchase
some.  Is this something only the dealers have?  If so, how much is it? 
If not, is it some generic tape that can be purchased at a hardware
store?  What kind?

Thanks for all your help.  I don't really have a dealer that I go to,
and am basically a free agent.  The warranty is long gone, so any help I
get is much appreciated.
