Intended Use and Vehicle Placement

The presented seat belt buckle latch is designed for operation on the front left seat in the 3-door Audi A3 8P generation. It is responsible for a secure connection of the seat belt to the mounting point in the seat, which directly impacts the effectiveness of the safety system during driving and in the event of a collision.

Precise fitting to the seat and belt routing minimizes the risk of looseness, improper fastening, and accidental unbuckling. This ensures the safety system maintains its factory operating parameters, and the driver receives a clear seat belt fastening signal on the instrument cluster.

Original Audi Part – Benefits of Use

As an original Audi part, the latch works with the factory wiring harness and the seat belt fastening detection system. The appropriate geometry and design of the locking mechanism ensure:

• stable retention of the belt tongue in the buckle during driving and sudden braking,
• proper cooperation with the pretensioners and the rest of the seat belt system,
• consistency with the vehicle's factory safety system settings.

Using an original buckle instead of an aftermarket alternative reduces the risk of issues with the seat belt warning light, airbag system errors, and incorrect operation of the fastening sensor.

Item Condition and Installation Aspects

The product is used, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged latch while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This is a practical solution in cases of:

• mechanical damage to the buckle (cracked housing, locking mechanism problems),
• malfunctioning seat belt fastening sensor causing the warning light to illuminate,
• the need to restore full functionality of the safety system after a collision or seat replacement.

Installation is performed at the factory location on the front left seat, utilizing existing mounting points. Thanks to the preserved original construction, there is no need for wiring modifications or alterations to the seat structure.

Why Choose This Seat Belt Buckle Latch

Replacing a damaged latch with an original Audi part helps maintain the integrity of the seat belt system and avoids fitting issues typical of random aftermarket replacements. This is particularly important in vehicles where the following are prioritized:

• maintaining the factory safety level for the driver,
• correct operation of seat belt-related warning systems,
• compliance with technical inspection requirements and homologation standards.

By using an original latch, you minimize the risk of repeated replacements and gain confidence that the part was designed specifically for the given model and seat configuration.
