Seat belt bucket stopped working?
« on: January 06, 2009, 11:10:16 am »
Hi guys im new to the forum but i have just experienced my first problem on my gti.

The other day i went to plug my seat belt in and it didn't clip,
Has anyone else had/fixed this problem as now i can wear my seatbelt and am left with the annoyin binging to tell me it isnt fastened!

Cant see anything stuck in it, and the car ran out of warenty last month :sad:.
Rang VW yesterday and they told me £37 +vat which seems cheap but am a little worried about fitting it myself cus isnt it linked into the airbag system?

just get vw to fit it to save you the hassle or just nip in to the dealer and ask if they can have a quick look at it as they should do for free if they are a good dealer
