Has the car had an accident in the parst, issues with the latching mechanism is usually a sign of stress on the mechanism.

I would just look for a second hand replacement and get it chucked in, not to tricky to do

Not that I know, he bought it quite new so imagine less likely to have been in an accident, said it was ok up until recently. Saying that I remember back in the day when we used to share our folks car, I used to tell him off for his heavy handedness with interior fittings, might be him lol! Saying that he took it to VW and it's now fixed, still got to catch up with him to see what it was they done to it.

Is that the vac box you are talking about the item 20 in this diagram?

https://opel.catalogs-parts.com/#{client:1;page:part;lang:en;category:car;catalog:v94;group:g;groupsub:0;subgroup:58-1}

The non-return is inside this so you replaced the whole vac box effectively?

After waiting several days for coil pack to arrive, fitted it this afternoon and reassembled plenum, intake, scuttle, etc, and now it runs just sweet again - job jobbed.

Vacuum non return valve ordered for multiram system, still hasn't arrived yet, but at least engine is responsive once again and under bonnet plumbing is in order.

Just out of interest, where is that located in the bay? you said it's fubared but does it give any obvious symptoms of failure other than not holding vac?

Hi

Where can I get this now 3041827 the wee valve thingy, had a look at the old links in here they are all not workie or sold out links.

From what I was reading there is a green or a red colour coded one, with one being r134 compatible and the other...not? I'm not sure hopefully someone can enlighten me!

for  2.6 02 plate.

Thanks

Probably the same part. And as long as it out lasts the warranty, I don't suspect that VAG would be too bothered either way.

And mileage is no indication of wear either... 40k miles could be 40,000 half mile trips to the shops... Or 80,000 uses of the seat belt. 

Sure they test it for those kind of eventualities though, even so my 28 year old cavalier and 2002 year omegas with more than double the mileage & age have perfectly working seatbelts.

Had read a story of someone with a polo, same problem, about same Year and miles aroun 40k, although out of warranty due to car age, and VW replaced it out of goodwill since it's a safety item and shouln't be goosed at 40k miles. Should think so - German engineeering anyone!

General Car Chat / VW Passat jamming seatbelt

« on: 31 August 2022, 07:32:43 »

Hi All

Just wondered if anyone has or had one of these cars, it's my brother's car (2014 plate) and the drivers seat belt is doing his head in, it keeps locking when he's trying to pull it on. He asked VW about a new seatbelt and they said they have them but are about 360 each just for the part, so problably 500 all in plus fitting.

I'm pretty sure this is one way i.e sealed unit and not able to fix. The VW garage said bring it in and they can check it, but imagine it's a new seat belt it would need.

Thanks

Should have a blue connector on it.

The CTS body is black. This is on the elite. Prety certain it was the same on the 2.6

Also it is plugged into the correct loom?

The purge valve has the same plug but runs a 12v reference not 5v.

Presuming that you mean the ecu temp sensor on the coolant bridge rather than the thermos witches on the radiator.

Aye, its the CTS on the coolant bridge.

Ecu or gauge?

The ECU one.

Whats wrong with the VX Grey stuff?, its certainly cheaper than the Loctite Sealents and I believe you get more of it. 

couldn't find any, I believe the number is 93160951.

do you know anywhere has it?

I don't suppose you thought to ask Vauxhall...

No I never asked, was just going to go with the elring stuff I used for my sump, but not sure if it was a different type for the sump.
