Re: Accident (now real Audi content.)

There was something on the list a while back about how seatbelts stretch in
an accident; over time, if there are a couple of "almosts", where you were
thrown against the seat belt, it could stretch it out and make it not as
useful.

Speaking of seatbelts, my "new" 200q's drivers side belt retraction doesn't
have any "zing" left in it.  Anyone happen to know how to fix this?  I
don't really want to mess with it without knowing what I'm doing, the car
being "TENS" equipped and all...the more I think about it, the more I
should just have someone(ie, dealer or mechanic) do it.
