Removing and installing belt end fitting — AUDI

🧭 Before you start

Remove the seat and B-pillar trim, then fold the floor covering back to reach the anchorage. Unplug the microphone connector where fitted, undo the anchorage bolt and lift the end fitting out through the floor covering. On refit, route the connector and fitting back through the cut-out, start the bolt by hand, clip the cable retainer to the body and tighten the bolt.

Fits: platform code 42

Don't miss

• Unplug the hands-free microphone connector before pulling the belt end fitting through the floor covering.
• Feed the connector and belt end fitting through the cut-out in the carpet together.
• Start the anchorage bolt by hand before tightening to avoid cross-threading into the body.
• Push electrical connectors in as far as the stop and listen for them to engage.
• Clip the cable retainer back to the body so the wire cannot chafe under the seat.
