Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to get a spare male seat belt buckle to fit into the female receiver to turn off the seatbelt warning light when I am using the 6 pt harnesses. In the past I just used the rear passenger seat belt buckle. I asked my body shop (they are painting my car) and they said that seat belt buckles are specially coded so I can't just get any buckle, it has to be a Porsche buckle, which costs $70. He said some manufacturers like Audi charge more, up to $300. Is that true? Are buckles specially coded? Has anyone used a spare buckle and where did they get it? Sunset says that Porsche will not sell you just a belt buckle unless you are a collision repair shop.

POST 2Original post

NO. Any buckle will do. Late model Audi and VW buckles fit. Scrap yard will do. I had mine made at a machine shop, cost 15 bucks.

POST 3Original post

I saw someone asking in the 944 forum if anyone had a spare kicking around. Seems like a good solution. (In fact I might have some spares somewhere...)

POST 4Original post

I cut one out of a VW at a junkyard. Works perfectly, took about 2 minutes and cost $2.
