2018 Audi R8 OEM Front Seat Belt Pair

The front restraint system is an important part of the Audi R8’s occupant-protection system. The factory parts catalog identifies the front assemblies as three-point automatic seat belts with belt tensioners.

Unlike universal replacement belts, OEM Audi assemblies are designed around the vehicle’s specific mounting locations, retractor configuration, belt routing, buckle arrangement, and restraint-system electronics.

For this reason, the left and right belts should be matched to the vehicle’s VIN and the OE number on the original belt whenever possible.

Left Front Seat Belt

The left/front belt is the driver’s-side assembly in a left-hand-drive vehicle.

Audi R8 4S parts listings show multiple OE variations for the left front belt. For example, 4S8857705A is documented as an R8 4S front-left seat belt, while Audi catalog information also lists related 4S7857705A/B variants depending on application and production period.

Therefore, the exact OE number should be confirmed before installation rather than assuming every 2018 R8 uses the same suffix.

Right Front Seat Belt

The right/front belt is the passenger-side assembly on a left-hand-drive vehicle.

Audi’s parts information separately identifies the right front belt, including 4S7857706-series numbers for R8 applications. Color and production-date suffixes can also differ.

If you are replacing the passenger-side belt after an accident, verify the complete assembly and connector configuration against the original vehicle.

OEM Audi R8 4S Front Seat Belt Fitment

The second-generation Audi R8 is commonly identified by the 4S platform designation. For a 2018 R8, the front left and right belt assemblies should be matched to the vehicle’s original specification.

Audi parts information shows R8 4S front belt assemblies using 4S8857705-series numbers on the left and 4S8857706-series numbers on the right, with different suffixes and finishes available. One genuine Audi parts listing, for example, identifies 4S8857706D V04 as a black right-side belt and lists several corresponding left/right 4S belt revisions.

A used OEM listing also identifies 4S8857706B as a front-right passenger-side R8 4S seat-belt retractor for 2018–2023 applications.

Because Audi can supersede part numbers during production, the number printed on the original belt or a VIN-based parts lookup should be used to confirm compatibility.

What Is Included

This listing is for:

• 1 × front left/driver-side seat belt
• 1 × front right/passenger-side seat belt
• Front seat belt assemblies for a 2018 Audi R8 donor vehicle
• OEM Audi components as represented by the listing

Please Confirm Before Purchase

Because seat belts are safety-critical components, buyers should verify:

• VIN
• Production date
• Left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive configuration
• Coupe or Spyder body style
• Belt color
• Original OE number
• Connector configuration
• Retractor/tensioner configuration
• Whether the vehicle has previously experienced a collision

Seat Belt Safety System

The Audi R8’s front seat belts are part of the vehicle’s larger restraint system. The belt assembly may incorporate a retractor and pyrotechnic pretensioner, meaning it should not be treated like an ordinary trim component.

Audi technical documentation describes applicable Audi three-point automatic belts with belt tensioners, and replacement components can carry specific installation requirements.

Important: If a seat belt has been involved in a crash or the pretensioner has deployed, do not assume the assembly is reusable simply because the webbing looks undamaged.

A qualified Audi/VAG technician should inspect and install the restraint system.

Why Buy OEM Audi R8 Seat Belts?

Replacing an R8’s damaged or worn restraint components with correctly matched OEM equipment can be preferable to adapting universal belts.

OEM-style vehicle integration

The original Audi belt assembly is designed around the R8’s mounting points, belt routing, retractor position, buckle location, and restraint-system architecture.

Left and right pair

Buying both front belts together can be useful when restoring an R8 interior or replacing both restraint assemblies following interior work.

Ideal for R8 restoration

These belts can be considered for:

• Accident repair
• Interior restoration
• R8 project cars
• Replacement of damaged belt assemblies
• OEM interior refurbishment
• Donor-car restoration
• R8 4S parts replacement

Coupe vs Spyder Fitment

The 2018 Audi R8 was offered in both Coupe and Spyder body styles. Although components can share the R8 4S platform, buyers should not assume that every seat-belt assembly is interchangeable between every body style.

For example, current OEM catalog data identifies 4S8857706DV04 as a genuine Audi black right-side belt associated with the R8 Spyder and lists the R8 Spyder for 2015–2024.

Always compare the OE number, connector, mounting arrangement and VIN before installing a belt from another R8.

Left-Hand Drive vs Right-Hand Drive

The terms left front and right front describe the physical side of the vehicle rather than automatically identifying the driver and passenger positions in every market.

For a typical European left-hand-drive R8:

• Left front = driver’s side
• Right front = passenger side

For a right-hand-drive R8, the occupant positions are reversed.

Therefore, RHD buyers should verify the physical side and OE number rather than ordering solely by “driver” or “passenger.”

OEM Part Number Verification

Several Audi R8 4S front belt revisions exist.

Examples documented in Audi parts information include:

• 4S8857705-series — left/front belt applications
• 4S8857706-series — right/front belt applications
• Different suffixes can correspond to revisions, colors, equipment or production applications.

One documented R8 4S right-front retractor is 4S8857706B.

These examples should not be interpreted as confirmation that every 2018 R8 uses the same number.

The safest method is to provide the vehicle VIN and compare the number on the existing belt assembly.

Installation Information

Seat belts should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with Audi restraint systems.

Installation may involve:

1. Removing the interior trim required to access the belt assembly.
2. Disconnecting the relevant electrical connector where applicable.
3. Removing the belt mounting hardware.
4. Installing the correctly matched OEM belt assembly.
5. Reconnecting the restraint-system wiring.
6. Checking belt routing and retractor operation.
7. Checking pretensioner and SRS system status.
8. Clearing and diagnosing any applicable fault codes.
9. Performing a complete restraint-system inspection.

Do not modify, splice, drill, weld, or otherwise alter an OEM seat-belt assembly.

Important Safety Disclaimer

Seat belts are safety-critical restraint components.

Before installation, inspect the webbing, stitching, buckle interface, retractor, mounting points, pretensioner and connectors.

Do not install a belt with:

• Frayed webbing
• Cuts
• Burn marks
• Damaged stitching
• Bent mounting hardware
• Corrosion affecting structural components
• Evidence of deployment
• Crash-loading history
• Damaged electrical connectors
• A locked or malfunctioning retractor

If the donor vehicle was involved in a collision, professional inspection is strongly recommended.
