Go to the radio store and ask for a 2.2 Ohm resistance.

Gentlemen, are airbags and installed preloaded belts much more expensive than your life and safety? I also had an accident, 2 pillows worked - in the passenger seat and in the ceiling. I bought pillows on parsing and put them on. In the seat cost 2000, the ceiling is the same. Belts bought new for 7000 a pair. The only thing when I had to use resistance was when replacing the steering wheel with a cartoon of a new model and muffling the second squib chain on the steering column (AJ).
Don't skimp on your safety!

If the seat belt does not function in the car, it is necessary to urgently eliminate the cause of the breakdown, since it is dangerous to drive with faulty or problem belts, this is contrary to traffic rules.

Among the common breakdowns that occur during the operation of seat belts and the mechanisms that control their work, the following can be distinguished:

jamming of the belt when trying to buckle, even in the case of a smooth pull;
belts do not stretch due to frost or wear of the roller mechanism;
belts do not retract when unfastened;
the coil lock is broken or the main mechanism is damaged.

Of course, there are other problems, but they are less common, which means that the risk of encountering such a breakdown in your car is minimal. Many people believe that in some breakdowns it is possible to drive with faulty belts, but, according to the rules of the road, if the vehicle is operated with a faulty seat belt mechanism, an administrative fine may be imposed on the driver.

In addition, the car manufacturer is not responsible for a transport accident, even if the car is under warranty service in the event that the owner has not contacted specialists for replacement of the seat belts. Therefore, before you repair belts with your own hands, you need to understand that all changes are made, as they say, at your own peril and risk.

Most often, the owners decide on an independent repair because of the very expensive maintenance. For example, replacing a belt mechanism or completely replacing belts on a standard middle-class passenger car will cost the owner at least 15 thousand rubles. Not everyone is willing to pay that kind of money, especially when it comes to a simple breakdown, for example, the need to lubricate or replace the gear of the main mechanism.

In every modern car, seat belts work according to a fairly simple principle - a reel with a blocker based on a gear mechanism, with the help of which the reel rotates. The gear mechanism itself is closed by a small pendulum with a ball or spheroidal support with a system of levers.When the belt is pulled out smoothly, the support rotates with the spool gear, and with a sharp jerk, the flywheel is blocked. In this blocking system, most often there is a malfunction.

Thus, to repair the coil and other mechanisms, it is necessary to remove it, for which almost all cars will need to remove the trim, and on some models the seats on the side with which the belt is not working properly. For removal and self-repair, you will need tools, which should include:

a set of flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
a set of spanners of various diameters;
lubricant, wire, wipes and material to protect the seats and upholstery.

Depending on the complexity of the repair (sometimes a complete replacement of the coil is required), other additional tools may be required for work. Do-it-yourself repairs at a VAZ are much easier, especially on older versions, since these cars do not have side airbags, the trim is easily removed and installed, and there is no need to remove the seats.

Regardless of the car model, in order to get to the mechanisms that are responsible for the correct operation of the seat belts, it is necessary to remove the plastic lining of the side panel. On almost all models, it is held either on clips at the top and bottom, or on bolts of various diameters. To access the lining, it is necessary to move the seat as far forward as possible, or remove it according to the instructions (unscrew several front and rear mounting bolts and remove the seat from the slide).

To comply with safety precautions, especially for cars with side airbags, before starting work with the belt reel, it is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the battery and, if possible, the contacts to the airbags (you can see it by the color of the wires in the car's wiring diagram). This must be done so that the igniter does not fire, which could result in injury. The coil is usually closed with a plastic case with the inscription “Do not open”, but in order to eliminate the cause of the breakdown, it must still be opened. This plastic casing is fastened with several bolts to the rack. Image - DIY Volkswagen seat belt repair

If the seat belt does not retract well, then the spring of the return mechanism may simply fly off or the spring is damaged. If it's a spring, you can replace it. At the replacement stage, you should be careful, since it is not difficult to remove the spring mechanism, and it is quite problematic to install it back on the coil. There is no specific installation scheme, it all depends on the model and complexity of the mechanism.

Another common reason the belt does not retract is when the metal tensioner belt is worn out or the steel angle breakage that feeds the belt into the hole on the shaft. Because of this breakage, the shaft rotates idle, that is, it does not wind the tape around itself. If the corner does not break off much, you can bend the tape with pliers and correct its position by bending the tip a little closer than intended.

Upon further inspection, you will find that the plastic shaft is connected to the metal stem that extends from the coil. In one part of the shaft there is a hole for mounting on the stem, on the other side there is a small hole that looks like an eyelet on a regular needle. To turn the shaft and assemble the entire mechanism into place, a piece of metal wire or a thin knitting needle must be threaded into this very eyelet. The shaft turns counterclockwise until it stops, support the mechanism with a screwdriver and wrench.Now you can wind the belt around the shaft and remove the wire, this way the two halves of the mechanism will connect and the cover will snap into place.

Very often, the wedging mechanism of the safety strap in the car begins to jam when the belt is pulled out of the reel, even if it is pulled very smoothly, and in the cold season it is practically impossible to fasten it on. In this article, I will show you how to make a DIY seat belt repair within ten minutes, right in the car.

To perform this type of robot you need.

Short cross twist
Straight slotted twist
Seventeen socket wrench
The clip can also be used with a clothespin
Film for protecting car seats from dirt
Knitting steel knitting needle or stiff wire
Syringe with a straw
Gasoline for refueling lighters

To remove the B-pillar cover, unscrew the four self-tapping screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Then we take out the entire seat belt and attach it to the eyelet using a clip or a clothespin.
Using a seventeen socket wrench, remove the bolt that secures the coil and take it from the bracket. Do not allow the spool to unwind and secure the strap to the spool with a clip. It is necessary to fix it so that it is more convenient to carry out repair work.
Close up car seat film, and put the dismantled mechanism on it, you need to sit on another chair.
Next, we are looking for a lid, under which the inertial mechanism is located, for this, shake the coil and under which lid it rattles and we need it.
To remove the lid, you need to remove the four plastic caps, use a knitting needle to remove them. Using a slotted twist, remove the cover.
We remove the opened mechanism (the box contains a cylinder, a metal ball and a rocker). For the mechanism to work properly, the rocker arm must move freely along the axis and not jam anything. To check, place the mechanism in a vertical position and tilt the upper part towards the ball, the rocker arm should return to its original position, without any wedging. If, nevertheless, there is wedging, it is necessary to flush the axis of the rocker arm until it begins to rotate freely and without jamming.
Then we take out the inertial mechanism (taken out without an additional tool), it is metal and is located under a plastic gear. In the central part of the hole there is an eccentric with teeth (it is the reason for the belt jamming during pulling out) the space under it should be well cleaned. To do this, you need to pour a small amount of gasoline into the center and around the perimeter, preventing the belt from winding, then remove the clip.
Next, we take the coil in our hand so that you can hold the spring and the plastic guide with your index finger, wind the strap with the other hand, and pull it a couple of times. This procedure must be repeated two to three times. Important: do not allow the belt to reel before you put the mechanism back.

That's all the repair of the seat belt with your own hands is finished, it remains only to assemble in the reverse order, and install it in place, it is recommended to carry out the same procedure on the second mechanism for prevention.

5mm thick) going from the pyrobolt to the coil tension unit (BN). Pyrobolt is no longer needed.
4. Bending back the housing of the winding spring (or removing it altogether), take out the remainder of the cable (pry it off with an awl from the end at the axis, grab it with narrow-nose pliers and drag it. The winding spring, of course, will jump off and unwind inside its box. It's not scary.
5. Drill a window in the silumin body of the BN with a drill

5mm. It is better to choose a place for the window on the rounded part of the BN.
6. The whole point of the belt wedge is in three serrated 5mm rollers located at 120 degrees around the circumference in the BN. They "float" when the belt is retracted and stand up against the BN body when trying to pull the belt. These rollers must be removed through the drilled window. And so is their plastic frame. We take them out with an awl in turn, turning the coil in the direction of winding the belt. We also break out the mandrel with an awl and pull it out - the atoms will also wedge.
7. Take out the rollers and the mandrel - the spool should rotate freely. Now only an inertial mechanism can wedge it. Now you need to remove the belt itself from the reel (a hacksaw blade helps)
8. We put the spring. Open the cover of the spring block, fix the spring tail on the spool axis. Close the lid. Completely "wind" the spring by hand.
9.Insert the belt back (again with a cloth)
10. Belt wound, ready to use.
11. We are waiting for the extra ones to appear in the budget.

$ 140 and change the belts to normal belts with tensioners. 🙂
Good luck.
PS. Eh, I didn't think to make a photo. 🙁

The seat belt was invented in the last century and during its existence it has already saved more than one
a thousand human lives. But sometimes it fails too ... And today we will tell you how to fix it on our own.

At the very beginning, it is worth making a reservation that driving with a malfunctioning safety is not only expensive (after all, valiant traffic police do not sleep and will gladly write you a fine for such an offense), but most importantly, it is life-threatening.

Of course, in the event of a seat belt breakage, you can contact a specialized service station, where the craftsmen will quickly and efficiently carry out repair work. However, you can do it yourself, besides, with the help of our tips, it will be quite easy and simple.

There are a large number of belt faults, we will focus on the most common problems and try to eliminate them.

It often happens that the belt does not want to twist back. Sound familiar? We got into the car, buckled up, drove to the destination, unfastened the belt, but it remained unassembled. The situation, admittedly, is unpleasant, but, fortunately, not hopeless. Usually the cause of such a breakdown is a broken drum; in order to replace it, you need to remove the casing. However, often, to restore the drum's performance, it is enough to put the spring in place, which often simply flies out due to strong tension. Agree, everything is much simpler than one might think. Just do not relax too much and take care during work, otherwise you risk injuring your hands, and in this case the seat belt, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, becomes dangerous.

It happens that the belt starts to jam. To do this, it is also necessary to remove the casing and check the serviceability of the mechanism that drives the belt. Usually, it is enough to just clean it of dirt, after which it returns to its former performance. However, simply pulling out and cleaning the mechanism, as is done in most cases, is too laborious and quite long, so it is better to take a can with a special coloring agent, inject it several times into the mechanism and stretch the belt back and forth a couple of times, in such a simple way the heads of the mechanism will be cleaned and the belt will stop jamming.

Of course, the above procedures may seem cumbersome and time consuming to you. It's stupid to argue, because that's the way it is. Therefore, if you are saving your time, you can simply buy a new seat belt rather than try to get it repaired. The only thing you should be extremely careful when buying and remember that the belt must be suitable for your car model, otherwise it will not be of any use.

You can install the belt yourself, but we advise you to entrust this business to professionals. Such a service will not cost too much, thus you will save time and nerves, and in the future, it is possible that the belt will protect your life and protect your loved ones from death.

This nylon rope can withstand up to three tons and is designed with all the characteristics of the human structure in mind. Naturally, a seat belt can save life, but you cannot rely on it completely. Therefore, dear readers, when getting behind the wheel, rely primarily on your own strengths, think about your safety yourself.

Observe the basic rules of the road, keep the car always in good condition, because any minor malfunction in the car can lead to sad consequences, not to mention problems with the braking system or a breakdown in the transmission.Take care of yourself, because now, if there is no interest in you before your own life, then, naturally, even more so. Take care of yourself and take care of your loved ones!

VOLKSWAGEN MINIBUS OWNERS CLUB Message kolokolok » 19.09.2012, 06:42:55 #2 Message Strannik » 19.09.2012, 07:16:34 #4 Message artemka10 » 19.09.2012, 07:25:45 #5 Message Evgeny VW » 19.09.2012, 08:02:32 #6 I somehow transported a whole van of fallen leaves (and this happens) and sand apparently got into the belt mechanism. And that's all. I unscrewed the belt, I twist it, I don’t know how to disassemble it to make it work. I was looking looking for, I found some maaaa little button. I pressed it like WOMAN. and the belt flew out of my hands. He examined himself, all the fingers were in place, the eyes too - thank God. The car is filled with gunpowder smoke. Yes, I think I figured it out.

But the belt immediately began to work after that. He just doesn't have a squib now. And I won't go into these things anymore (especially into the airbag, as written above Image - DIY Volkswagen seat belt repair

By the way, I noticed that the mechanism works only in the position in which it is screwed, horizontally and otherwise it does not work or works with jamming.

sinuke, wait, I don’t understand. you lubricate the belt itself silicone? and he will not then stain the clothes with that silicone?

Everything is in the search

... I recently studied it myself, found it in a search.

Complete crap! It is better not to touch the threshold. I opened the threshold on my own, the latches broke off, and then at least on the screws the threshold of the lining.

First, you take off the top (plastic), it's very simple, first you remove one side from the elastic band with your fingers, the second one is removed without straining, tk. the first one is snapped off, then you also pull back the bottom. You pull it off (but don't take it off!), Pour the silicone onto the metal bracket and at the same time remove the dirt from it (there is a lot of dirt adhering to it) - then you pour it on the plastic bracket which is higher and pour it abundantly down onto the drum that twists the belt. You insert the bottom, then the top is in place (combining the belt height adjustment so that it fits into the groove), you first snap one side after the other

, after such a procedure, the belt is wrapped like a new one

What does a jammed belt mean? Over time, the seat belt mechanism begins to wedge, that is, it does not allow the belt to be pulled out of the reel, even when you pull it very slowly, and quickly buckling up in winter becomes a real problem.

The problem is simple and can be solved in ten minutes without leaving the car.

From the passenger side I have already carried out such an operation, now I present a photo report on the repair of the driver's belt.

Tools and materials

- Phillips screwdriver, short
- slotted screwdriver
- wrench on “17” box
- stationery clothespin
- a plastic bag or a piece of plastic - to protect the seat from contamination
- knitting steel knitting needle or a piece of stiff wire
- syringe with a tube *
- gasoline "Galosha" or gasoline for lighters * (if in a canister with a small spout, then a syringe is not needed)

With a short Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 4 self-tapping screws on the lower cover of the middle drain and remove the cover by pulling it up.

Next, we pull out the entire belt and stop it with a clothespin on the eyelet.

With a 17 key, unscrew the belt reel mounting bolt and remove it from the bracket.
Keeping the belt from winding, we fix the belt on the coil itself with the same clothespin.
Fixation of the belt is necessary for the convenience of further operations.
Next, we cover the seat, for example, with a plastic bag, so as not to get it dirty,
we put a coil on it, and Sami transfer to the next one.

Now we need a cover, under which an inertial mechanism. Usually it is thicker (in the photo it is on the left), but you can
and shake the coil - under which the lid will rattle - that is what you need.

To remove the lid, you need to remove 4 plastic caps from it - Squeeze them out with a knitting needle,
holding them with your hand from flying out.
Pry off the cover with a slotted screwdriver and remove it ..

Before us opens the first mechanism of the belt (It is removed freely, with your fingers) - This is a box with a cylinder, with a ball inside, and a "rocker".

We check the rocker - is it free on the axis of rotation? Having placed the "rocker" vertically, we tilt its upper part towards the ball.
It should take a vertical position quickly and without the slightest jam!
If there is jamming, then we wash the axis of rotation of the "rocker arm" until it begins to rotate on the axis absolutely freely!

Further, the second mechanism - inertial - It is steel and is located under the plastic gear. It can be removed freely with your fingers.

In the center of the toothed hole there is an eccentric with teeth (which wedges the belt when pulled out sharply), the space under which needs to be cleaned. To do this, pour a little gasoline around the perimeter of the hole and a little to the center, keeping the belt from unwinding, remove the clothespin for a while.
We take the coil in one hand so that with the index finger we hold the plastic guide with the spring, and with the other we tighten and wind the belt several times and pull sharply several times so that the mechanism would engage. After that, we again fix the belt on the reel and repeat this operation 1-2 more times.

We assemble the coil and put it in place in the reverse order.

On my tiguan, it looks like the same problem is foreseen.

Got into an accident, both belts worked.

I ordered the belts and found out that they were updated.

I just can’t find information about the rewiring.

I suppose we have the same belts, I guess.

Can you throw off the information about which connector you need to buy and what is the circuit there?

I got an error here
the Airbag light comes on, the Airbag Fehler message pops up when the car is started. Carried out diagnostics:

At the weekend I decided to eliminate it. According to the manual, to remove this lock, you need to remove the chair, figured it out and so, and so, decided that it was necessary to remove it in order to do everything correctly.
The connector we need is located under the driver's seat in front

Click on the latch and disconnect the connector

How to start this work can be found in the topic about replacing the battery

To remove the chair, you need to unscrew the two bolts in front

And two in the back. It is difficult to crawl here, for convenience I unscrewed two more screws (green arrows), eventually unscrewed

He lifted the seat up and laid it on its side, with its back in the back door.
We unscrew the bolt fastening the lock with a key 17

To free the cables, cut off two plastic clamps

We remove the connector from the chair, in the direction of the arrow the tail of the latch, it is necessary to move it to the side and move the yellow connector forward

Or remove it together with the white latch, squeezing it from the back with pliers, as it is more convenient for anyone.
I still did not understand how to properly disassemble the lock itself, in the end I broke it.
The arrows show the latches, whether they can be removed without breaking. it didn’t work for me.

Next, remove the electronic component from the mechanical part of the lock.
Gently part the plastic bows to the sides

We drill three fasteners

Lift the lid with a knife

There we see contacts, there were no visible defects, I cleaned the place of contact with a file from my wife's manicure set and put everything back together.
Glued in the direction of the arrow with glue from a heat gun

The body was glued with Vagovskaya tissue tape
We put the lock in place, fasten the bolt and put the ties
