Title: MK2 Heated seats don't work?
Post by: t111bul on 12 January 2009, 20:39

Hi Guys,

I have a MK 1989(90spec) 16v Golf that has factory fit heated seats but they don't seem to work. Does anyone know what i need to check? Do the switches go wrong? Do they have a relay?

Tim

go to the back of the seat

see if there is wires to the seat heater pad

check feed and ground there

if there is , probably burned the elements out :)

Not heard of a MK2 having heated seats, other than after market/MK3 seats.

they were available but not hugely popular over here... chances are the elements are knackered, make sure you're sitting down when VW tell you how much they are, if they are even available still!

Errm, I forget what the diagram is on my page now. John sent me it many moons ago.. The Mk2 loom will match to mk3 seats.. The plugs for the elements are the same.. Though the loom changes. Mk: relays clip on below seat. Mk2 loom, relays fit in fusebox area..

Just as a possibilty, there are other cars out there with heated seats. I am sure with a bit of thought, the wiring could be sorted out to accomodate non VAG elements to a VAG system.
