Upgraded to an A6 50 TFSI e quattro

[johnro79]

hi guys

just upgraded to one of these.
drove it yesterday for the first time with passengers and had a bit of an issue:

while i was driving with 2 in the back seat, all using seat belts, the rear right seat belt sensor showed as red and car started screaming to plug the seat belt in.
but it was plugged in

another instance, i had only 1 passenger on the left.
while everything was plugged in, the seat belt sensor was not reading as it was in.

being new to this, is this a common fault on these cars?

i've tried to remove the back seat cushion to take a look underneath it but it seems it's not as easy as on the C7 models.

anyone has any form of service manuals for these type of cars?
could i please have a copy too?

thanks for your time.

As I said on another forum, if the buckles were plugged into the right holders and properly engaged then take the car back to the supplying dealer, I assume it is under warranty. Seatbelts are a critical safety item and not something to try and see if you can make a repair.
