Hi can any one give me advice on a Citroen C4 07 reg which has failed. I can not clip the belt in to can you change it your self or do you need to take it to a garage.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

 

If it is just the buckle it is held by just one bolt plus an electrical connector under the seat to undo - however, to get to the bolt it may need the seat removing. The buckle is available on its own but there are a few different part numbers for the different colours and sides, unless a later model or 3 door one which have only one part number 8973PT (example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-C4-Belt-Buckle-8973PT-Brand-New-/321919956102 ) and both sides are the same. Before buying a replacement you should check for the correct part number using your car VIN. You could look to see if something has dropped in to the buckle which is stopping it working.

 

If the seat needs removing, before disconnecting the electrical connectors underneath the seat, the air bag system needs to be deactivated. According to the Haynes workshop manual this is done by disconnecting the battery, waiting at least 5 minutes, then disconnecting the air bag ecu connector after removing the centre console. The seat floor bolts are then removed, the head rest removed and then the seat plastic covers removed to access the electrical connectors before the seat can be removed. However, it might be possible to just undo the bolts holding the seat to the floor and tilting the seat a bit to get to the buckle bolt - however, I have not tried this so it may not be possible,
