1. Seat belt attachment points are shown in Fig. 11.24.
2. Access to the mounting points of the central pillar is obtained by removing the rear seat cushion (Chapter 31), then remove the screw securing the inner sill trim panel. Loosen the special nuts and pull out the inner sill trim panel. Unscrew the base of the B-pillar trim panel and detach it from above (photo). When installing the panel, make sure the height adjustment button engages the B-pillar mechanism correctly.
3. Check that the height adjustment is correct (photo).
4. The rear seat belt anchors can be accessed by removing the rear seat cushion and backrest as described in Chapter 31. Unfasten the D-pillar trim and pull it up. Unscrew the seat belt from the curve of the floor and pull the shelf forward (photo).
5. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order, but at the same time, tighten the anchor bolts with a regulated force specification.
6. On models equipped with the Procon-Ten security system, note that the front inertia drums are permanently attached to the system cable. Therefore, the cable must be removed along with the seat belts. This includes A-pillar trim removal, manual choke control (if available), disconnecting the cable holder at the rear of the gearbox and replacing all plastic guides. In viewing the safety aspect, it is recommended that this work be carried out by an Audi dealer.
