seatbelt warning is gone !!

[kareemsafwat]

Hello everyone,

Couple of days ago i found that the seatbelt warning in the dashboard has disappeared, also i tried to search under both front seats from any sockets, but didn't find any !

Before i was angry that seatbelt warning didn't chime, now i don't have anything.

Can any 1 assist to sort this out ?

Been tinkering with VCDS lately?

You should quite easily see the sensor wire coming from the belt latch.
Thats the one for seat belt warning.

Does your PR number list include 9P3 and 9P0 codes?
There is a sticker under the trunk carpet which lists the PR codes for your vehicle.

will check it tomorrow morning while going to work, and update you back

If there is no wire on the stalk then you dont have it.

couldn't find any 9P3 or 0 , but found these : STYLE5p77 CA7 & 6J5 3G7
and alot of alphanumeric vlaues but none of them was 9p3 or 9p0.

If you don´t have PR 9P3 then you don´t have the seat belt warning system installed.

i downloaded a PR code identifier for AUDI, and couldn't find in my codes anything related to seatbelt option.

BUT, how it was working for 2 months and now it disappeared ?????????????????????

@ Seat service center they advised that there are 2 types of seat belts, 1 is connected with the airbag, and the other one is like a socket inside the stalk or something, they couldn't find any fault so they concluded that it might be the led is fried and it can't be replaced, i have to replace the whole dial board. LUCKY me

if it is the led that is fried, just try driving down your street or an empty carpark slowly (i think it has to be over 10 or 15 mph) without your seatbelt on and it should beep at you, that way you would know if it is the led or the whole system.

luckily your car has a warranty so SEAT will pay to replace the dial unit.

 

[kareemsafwat]

nope, i'm not that lucky, i imported the car from abroad, so it's not under warranty

 

[nightflight]

it's still got a SEAT manufacturers warranty though?

 

[kareemsafwat]

nope , welcome to egypt , we buy cars more expensive than yours, while ours are way less power than yours and stripped from all the optional stuff, and in the end we don't have the same way of treatment when the car is faulty
