    Which seats have you fitted?  Unless they're racing buckets with harnesses, every standard front seat will have a belt pretensioner.  If that's been deployed (seats bought from crashed car for example) then it just needs replacing.  Not sure if all of the Mk7 seats have airbags as well but I'd be surprised if they didn't...when I was messing with 306s they got seat airbags from around 2000!
