Manufacturer: Genuine Volkswagen
Compatibility
Suitable for selected:
* Volkswagen Transporter T5 – 2003 to 2009
* Volkswagen Transporter T5.1 – 2010 to 2015
* Volkswagen Transporter T6 – 2015 onward
* Transporter Kombi

* Selected rear double / bench seat configurations
Compatibility depends on the exact seat frame, seating position, buckle mounting design and belt tongue type.
Technical Information
This assembly provides two seat belt buckle receivers mounted together for compatible double-seat arrangements.
Its main functions are to:
* Secure two individual seat belt tongues
* Maintain the correct buckle position between adjacent seats
* Provide the correct factory restraint arrangement
* Mount directly to the compatible seat frame / seat base
This is a safety-critical mechanical component and should only be installed where the original seating setup uses the same buckle assembly.
Seat Belt System Information
Volkswagen Transporter seating systems vary considerably depending on vehicle type and interior configuration.
Possible differences include:
* Single front passenger seat
* Double front passenger bench
* Rear Kombi double seat
* Rear triple bench
* Removable rear seating
* Folding rear seating
* Different buckle lengths and mounting brackets
Because of these variations, the part number and physical mounting arrangement are more important than vehicle year alone.
Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement
Typical reasons for replacing the buckle assembly include:
* One or both buckles no longer latch correctly
* Release buttons sticking
* Cracked or damaged buckle housings
* Bent mounting bracket
* Excessive wear
* Missing buckle after a seat conversion
* Replacement of a damaged seat frame or bench
* Previous accident damage
Important Diagnostic Information
Before replacing the buckle assembly, check:
* Both matching seat belt tongues are undamaged
* Both buckles latch and release correctly
* The mounting bracket is secure
* There is no debris inside the buckle mechanisms
* The seat frame mounting point is not damaged
Any buckle that does not securely retain the belt tongue should be replaced before the seating position is used.
Installation
Designed to fit directly to the correct Volkswagen seat frame / mounting point.
Correct mounting hardware and tightening torque are important because this component forms part of the vehicle’s occupant restraint system.
Professional fitting is recommended where necessary.
Programming / Coding
No programming or coding normally required.
This is primarily a mechanical seat belt buckle assembly.

* Part number: 7H0857739
* Number of buckle receivers
* Mounting bracket shape
* Mounting hole position
* Buckle stalk length
* Seat frame design
