My driver seat has started creaking when going round a bend! What can I do about it?
Thanks in advance.

Sometime ago, someone else posted on a similar problem. If I remember correctly, VW had to replace the seat squab. I think he weighed around 12 stone but was not tall. So not overly heavy IMO.
I weigh 11 stone and am 6' 1.25" and I think there are those occasional times my seat might have squeaked. :evil:

Proberly best keep things like that a secret :laugh:
-
I've tried lowring the seat and I only weigh 11 stone! Is there anywhere I can spray some lubricant or do you guys recommend taking it to the dealer?
Cheers,
Jim

I had the same issue on my MK5.
I put some grease on the wheels in the runners and that seemed to cure it.
-
As mike. advises, try grease or WD40 on the runners. However, if the creak is from the actual squab, then it would possibly need to be a dealer visit.
Knowing VW, they might initially classify this as normal!
Hope the grease sorts this out. All the best.

I've also got a creaking seat, It's driving me nuts!! :cry:
Will get the dealer to have a look when i get it booked in for the power steering fault
-
I hear so many ticks and clicks which drive me to distraction. I am pretty fussy of unwanted noises, more than is normal. I think the only things that seem to be noise free are the seats. Small mercies. I now just turn up the volume on the RNS, and if I hear a rattle, I'll take it to VW. I'll probably end up with a hard of hearing tech.
Our roads are so bad now, that any car will be shaken into becoming a rattle trap earlier than usual, unless it has very soft suspension which will then probably stimulate a bilious attack.
Just cannot win.

Had the same issue. Dealer had to replace the seat frame which took a day all in all.

Did you try and lubricate the runners or take it to the dealer straight away?
Cheers,

-
My issue had nothing to do with the runners or lack of lubrication. Creaking came from within the seat. Very easy to reproduce as I just had to push my weight backwards when seated = creak. Something in the seat frame was broken which caused the creaking sound. Could be heard when driving on twisty roads as my body was pushed into the seat.

Sounds like the exact same issue I am getting, going round bends or pulling into a road starts the creaking sound. I'll take it to the dealership.
Thanks

Asker mate at 15.5 stone 6ft 2" vs 11 stone and am 6ft 1" you'll be the one getting squashed and flattened if you carry on like that :laugh: :laugh:

Actually I am 6' 1.25", 32" waist, and have been the same weight since I was 25 years old. However, I am so pleased for this extra dimension of yours. :evil: :grin:
At present, I have got a squashed/smashed left shoulder as I fell down the stairs on a bus yesterday and am bedridden and in considerable pain. A bit of sympathy would be gratefully welcome.
Your threat is a bit too late as the deed has already been effectively committed by a London bus driver of uncertain origin. :angry:

Please, at least 20 years younger.
However, I am ex-Al Qaeda and fight very dirty. :grin:

WTF were you doing on a bus?
Hope you make a full recovery (no really) - no wonder my Bupa's going up again :rolleyes:
P.S. I don't *think* your on your black&busy now and yet you have lost the ability to "modify" posts - again - Sir I'm onto you :grin:

LOL + CRY IN PAIN.
Laughter is very painful. Your revenge is absolute now. :cry:
BTW: Moving it (the seat) up and down, forwards and backwards, could do the trick. It's worth messing around if you can get the result you want. :grin:

"The Doc" nearly falls off his chair laughing
I love the ability to hurt through laughter - but you already knew that
-
A bus? What's one of those?
My dealership replaced the passenger seat squab on mine as it creaked going round corners when someone was sat on it. Didn't matter how big or small they were. It creaked. Dealers agreed so replaced it - no problemo.
-
Just messed with the seat, changing height, angle etc and took it for a blast (not that a blast was needed) and the noise has now gone.
I expect it to return sometime soon...
Thanks all.
Jim

Great stuff Jimmy :smiley:
-
Been to the dealers today with my creaking seat,it's got to go back next week to have the frame replaced at the back of the seat so they say.
Let's wait and see if that fixes the problem as it's already had the rail and memory position stop replaced.
-
Frame being replaced sorted it on mine :smiley:

Surely at your age, Asker, this will be 5' 8.5" in 2 months time :laugh:

Im not sure of the build week etc as i dont know where to find that info.
But it was registered Dec 09
Ive had loads of problems with it, the latest one is a loud creaking noise coming from the rear brakes. My driveway's on a very very slight slope and if i dont pull the handbrake right up or if i dont press quite hard on the brakes it creakes and moves slightly forward
-
Thanks. I was just wondering if they were fixing squeeks and rattles after 1 year old as i think i will just tell them about my rattles and creaking door panels when it goes in for its service in March.
The brakes maybe as the brake pads take the heat from the discs/discs cool down. I have noticed mine does this too but not thought anything of it.

Yes, quite good at Lookers Teeside IMO, really friendly at the service desk and dont question much just do the work.
