Changed the oil in the GTI yesterday at 112,500 miles... However, it seems I opened and closed the hood 1 too many times and caused a super hidden electrical short which threw 4 fault codes, disabled airbags, blew the heated seat fuse, and disabled the A/C compressor....
I just wanted to post these codes if someone ever searches for them and can't find the root cause.
I knew this hood hinge wire harness and wiper fluid tube route had been bending awkwardly for a while cause i'd get a click sound when i closed the hood sometimes, but NEVER thought it would lead to all these fault codes!

Credit goes to user relumalutan on TDIClub Forums for knowing a short within this harness could throw the Airbag / Seat Occupied Recognition code.

So I separated the wires as my picture shows, then electrical taped each individually to prevent another short, then cleared all the codes with VAGCOM and replaced the #4 mini 5-amp fuse for the Heated Seats.
I got sooooo lucky finding that thread on TDIClub Forums! :thumbup:
Really hope this info helps someone in the future...
