Hi, due to sell the beloved 17 plate skoda superb this week and taking out the dog's seat belt it gets jammed....after a bit of "wiggling" the button has shattered....have looked into replacing to be quoted the whole seat belt unit has to be replaced and the part is £276.24 then £230 labour...

 

I've tried every way of explaining that it's "just the button" but two main dealers are saying it's definitely the whole unit that needs doing.

 

i appreciate it's an MOT fail and safety issue which is why I don't want to mess on with it or glue it 

 

waiting on 2 independent garages to come back with quotes but can anyone confirm it's the whole seat belt unit that needs replacing at all?

 

thanks in advance

 

It has to be a new belt, if you broke the double-socket you would have been able to buy separately.

 

cheers buddy. very much appreciated.

 

typical!

 

i don't suppose you have the part number at all?

 

Thanks again

I cannot give an accurate part number, you need VIN decoded results.

no worries mate, appreciate the replies. have a good one!

 

It’s always typical when I do a dump run that the bits people need are what I’ve just thrown.

 

Yes it comes complete with the seatbelt as they are riveted together sadly.

 

your best bet would be a breakers yard and just drill the rivet out and replace it - would be a whole lot cheaper.

 

(rivet is just for locating and doesn’t actually secure the belt buckle, if it was safety related I wouldn’t recommend it)
