Hi all,

I' finally managed to buy myself a lovely A4 from 2006. Incredible condition, drives like new, except for this issue which didn't show up on test drive.
After I started driving for about 15 mins, the seat belt warning sound and lights up intermittently. It will ding once and then stop, then it'll ding for about a minute and stop. Then nothing for a while and then it'll start again, one ding, stop, minute later start again. Very annoying. Also I've noticed that when it lights up on the dash the mileage illumination (in between the rev and speed counters) goes out and then comes back on when the warning stops.
Anyone else had this or can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance

Chris

 

Check the electrical connections under the seat for the seatbelt receiver that you snap the seatbelt into. It could be loose or have a bad connection making the warning go on and off intermittently. You might be able to reach it from the rear of the seat with it pushed all the way forward.

 

Thanks Dave, I'll try that.
