problem 1-air bag lite on,BavAuto(PEAKE?)air bag scan/reset tool shows"table 03-code 02"'firing circuit,belt tensioner,drivers side.am i to assume this means the seat belt lock & pyrotecnic tensioner assembly,whith was replaced 2 years ago is at fault? problem 2- BavAuto(PEAKE?)fault code reader shows "table 15-code 92". EVAP capilary leak (0.5mm) detected.am i to assume the problem is in the area of the carbon filter/leak detecter at the fuel tank & if so,what am i to look for. any help would be appreciated.thanks in advance

The first problem could be with the wiring, the SRS is a very sensitive system and I have dealt with the issue you seem to be having by replacement of the tensioner and the entire harness from the module to the way out to the tensioner. I hope it doesn't come to that. Try resetting the fault and see if it goes away first, or unplugging the connectors and replugging them. A fraction of an Ohm is all we are talking about here. The second issue may require a smoke producing device to pinpoint a leak that small. It could be a crack in some junction near the DMTL pump or ? Removal of the rear wheel and fender liner will give you elbow room, left side I believe.
