Seatbelt retraction
2015 A207 - the seatbelt on the drivers side is very sloooooooooooow to retract. Anyone had this problem and solved it, rather than buy a new belt?

Pull the belt out as far as you can, then soak the belt w hot water and dish soap. Use micro fiber towels to dry off , squeezing the belt firmly with the cloths. Redo the wash and dry step , paying extra attention to getting the belt very dry ; then let the belt dry fully extended.
Belt picks up body oils and dirt becoming stiffer over time. This will fix it
