So what the tensioner does is zips your seatbelt tight in a car accident, a tiny explosion actually, but a new unit I just read is about $250-$300 unfortunately, but I would first take off the plastic trim around it to see if there what the ground wire looks like, could be cut or something

Sr is seized up

Volkswagen Passat 2013 Passat 180000 miles
Out of the blue, the car would not start the dashboard red brake failure service immediately. After that red airbag failure service immediately. Brakes are hard like they’ve been taking over. Can’t even push on them so pushing on concrete car will not turn over flasher start blinking very weird just out of the blue. Home.
