i noticed yesterday thats the drivers seat got uncomfortably hot to the point that i had to turn it down,is there a known fault.thanks....
-
Not that I know of, I rarely have mine at 4 or 5 as it does get rather hot. I normally use 2 or 3 when I need the seats on.
-
Ye i've not heard of a fault regarding this. But i agree, I've never used above 3 because I find even that to be really warm. What setting do u have it on whitegti?
-
I turned my stereo up to full volume and it began to hurt my ears.. is there a factory recall for this fault?

I believe the fix is to push the loud pedal faster :evil:
As a last resort you are allowed to open the windows :grin:

lol!
Yes with my heated seats I only ever use setting 1, setting 2 gives me a hot ass :wink:
-
I use 2 or 3. Whenever anyone sits in the car for the first time, I whack it up the max and see what happens.

Do they make the same "ooh!" sound that everyone makes when they discover the electric lumbar support?
-
No. They haven't figured it out yet plus I don't bother telling them. They're too excited for heated seats.

Agreed - get in ED30 - and straight away setting 5 !!! Everyday !!

Just thought of a mod. Any way we can wire in some sort of timer so when we go to work in the morning if its cold heated seats will kick in 10 mins before :laugh: :laugh: I think they might only work off the ignition though? Wonder if such a thing could be done.
A mate of mine had an old beemer 750 which had a complete timer system for the hot air to come on up to 30mins before you got in the car. Nice!
-
In the manual there is mention of something like a pre-heating system, probably an option in Scandanavia or something.... Wish we had it too, bloody need it in Scotland....even in summer! :laugh:
-
Same in N Ireland mate - I can see Scotland from some parts here!
-
when i turned mine on for the first time, it felt like i had an accident in my trousers. haven't turned them on since.
-
i normally find a good curry the night before and you dont even need to use the Heated seats :wink:
-
I usually have mine on 3. Any hotter and my ring and jacobs start to get uncomfortable...

Doesn't it smell tho?

'1' is more than enough for me! :rolleyes:

thats one thing i miss about my edition 30 is that the seats heat up almost instantly, leather takes about 5 mins
-
i have mine on 3 but the mrs always wacks it up to 5 when she gets in she loves them lol
-

I don't find this, my leather heats up pretty much immediately. particularly at lower settings for some reason.
-
You know that heating your ass up give you piles .....
-
No it doesn't. Muppet.

Took a female friend out for a run in the car. Turned the heated seat up to 5. At first she didn't say anything. A couple of minutes later she remarked that she had got a warm wet feeling on seat. At first she thought that she had wet herself and was really embaressed!!!! Oh err Missus :grin: :grin:

yes they start heating straight away but take 5 mins to get real hot, but i noticed today that on lower setting seems to heat up quicker. But the ed30 was red hot almost straight away and used to make bolsters feel like they had gone colder as leather takes longer to heat and took 5 mins to catch up heat wise with the material center

That was sitting on a COLD surface and it is just a rumour. There is no medical evidence to prove that this is the case.
Carl, im sure your right, as i've never had the cloth seats before. i dont really like mine being very hot as i feel like iv messed myself so thats probably why im content at the lower heat the seats give out early on.
-
Hi guys... Mine set usually on 3, occasionally on 5 if it’s brass monkeys. I had a heated seat base replaced in my old 4-Motion it got very hot you could smell burning. Easy to do but not cheap. I couldn’t live without heated seats now. ps I’ve got piles :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

You'll all end up with a bunch of grapes hanging out yer asses you just see!

I usually keep mine on between 2-3 but whack it up to 5 when I get in the car and it's really cold. My old car had leather seats and I found that I needed it on 4-5 most of the time but with the cloth seats they seem to get hotter.
