my seat belt warning light doesn't work.

sadly i am an idiot who does forget to put their seat belt on sometimes so its useful.

any ideas if its a simple job like replacing a sensor or could it be something else? i couldn't see any wires on the seatbelt clip holder so any pointers to how/where everything is would be much appreciated!

Maybe I'm wrong but are you sure your car has one fitted? I don't think I have one on mine.

polos dont have them bud

you can activate or de-activate it with VAG-COM i quess.

that's weird. the 2003 car i had definitely had a red warning light. i can see the outline of one on the bottom right on the speedo and the handbook says it should be on.

its a 2006 1.4s

interesting - i just called uo VW - not fitted on the polo. i thought that was an EU requirement - this model is penny pinched to the max!

thats because you bought an "s" model. Its only one step up from the basic spec "e" polo

My GTI doesn't have it either and this is the top model of the Polo's?

yeah no light on mine either, yes they penny pinched on this one, the 9n model had gas struts on the bonnet!

No light suits me. Although i know i should always ware my seat belt. Tut tut

i thought getting an S would give me a better spec than an E. I had a 2003 E and its turning out to have been a better spec car apart from a cd player. stingey gets!

Owel i thought the higher spec'd polos came with it. Obviously not

None of the Polo range have them. Can be retrofitted though.

I dunno about everyone else, but the first thing I do when I get in my car is put my belt on, even before putting the key in the ignition.

i also always wear my seatbelt.
but IF the seatbelt warning light was active in the car i would let it turn off.
hate those things

I wouldn't mind the light so much, its the ones that keep beeping as you drive off that are seriously annoying.
Easier to just get into the habit of putting it on before starting the car!
