Bit of a strange one this but does anyone know if you can deactivate the electric seat controls with vcfs or which fuse to pull?? Sick and tired of going into garages to find my seat moved up,down and back.
-
How's the poor long legged mechanic going to get comfy when blitzing it up the road to collect lunch?
-
Does it not have a memory thats set by the key you use?
(give them the spare...)
-
You don't get memory seats in the uk. Could it be as easy as disconnecting the plug under the chair?
-
Oh my word, what a problem to have, "what do I do with my electric seats" :smug: :smug:
Only kidding bud :wink:
-
It's on my tiguan Andrew. I don't want to take it in until I can figure out how to stop the chair controls working.
-
"Yes sir, we found the seat electrics to be non functioning so fixed that for you".
-
"Yes sir, we found the seat electrics to be non functioning so fixed that for you".
And tested it by putting it all the way back and lying down... look, you can see...
-
I need to weld mine shut, no fuse to take out for the manual adjustment. Buggers move it every time ;)
-
Can you not pull the loom connector?
-
Thanks for a sensible answer c2k 😉. I think I'll give that a go and see what happens.

:grin:
-
Can't you just pull the fuse?
-
Why do you want this surely there's a memory function?
If you pull cables from it be careful you don't pull the air bag one or it will flag up a fault.
-
Don't suppose a post it note on the steering wheel asking not to move the seats would do? Stupid me, it's VW we're talking about.
I forgot to put a post it note on my car once saying not to was it so I used an envelope and some masking tape I had in the car and stuck it on the steering wheel. Came back to collect the car and they had washed it, but the smart arse wrote 'sorry' on the envelope. All I could do is laugh.

Before anyone else replies, we don't get memory seats in the uk on golfs and tiguans it only seems to be on the pheaton or toureag. I've tried notes, asking politely not to move, asking not politely too. I'd love to just pull a fuse but vw don't seem to tell you which fuse does what any more.

Tell them you have a very specific back (lumbar) issue and the seat is configured (on doctors orders) to your exact requirements and it is imperative that it is not altered in any way, otherwise it may result in detriment to your condition. :wink:
-
Thats a good suggestion by Booth but will they not have to adjust the seat to drive it into the workshop or am I missing something?

Are we no longer on first name terms Stevie. :cry: :sad: :wink:
Btw, I haven't yet congratulated you on your new GTI. :cool: Congratulations!!! Exciting! When do you pick it up?
-
LoL what are you like :grin:
I wouldn't like to go home with a broken pay packet to you Rebecca :laugh: :whistle: Only kidding.
Pick up is tomorrow at 11 :wink:
I think I'm more excited about it than my other half even although its hers.
She's going to Blackpool for the weekend for a cheerleading competition and obviously it would be rude of me not to point out that the motorway is not the best place for breaking in cars. So she's having to leave it here with me while she goes away :laugh: :wink: :grin:

What on earth is a broken pay packet? One with no money left in it? You are too harsh on me, lol.
Tomorrow, woohoo! Well I hope Mrs Stevie loves her new GTI.
Cheerleading competition - sounds interesting - is she competing? Of course she can't be ruining a new GTI on the motorway, your suggestion to save it from a terrible fate is a truly selfless act. :grin:
Blackpool - shudder. Went to college there way back and lived in a horrific grimy bedsit. Not my fave place. And tell her to stay away from the promenade. Every week in winter, someone was 'swept' to their certain death by a 'freak' wave, usually trying to reduce their dog which moments before had been similarly 'swept away' by an earlier 'freak' wave. There's only one thing scarier than Blackpool in the middle of winter, and that's Blackpool when it's 'Glasgow Weekend'. :laugh: (though I'm sure that's a thing of the past now).
Anyway I digress......Enjoy tomorrow and we will be waiting for the pics........... :wink:

I keep forgetting the dialect might not be the same throughout the UK :undecided:
Years ago you were paid cash in a sealed brown envelope from your work.
So it was a term used for women that would give their men a hard time if the pay packet was opened.
Yeah she's competing. :smug:
Sorry mcmaddy, back to you.

Haha, I know what a brown pay packet is (used to get those once upon a time), just not heard the term "broken pay packet". :smiley:
Sorry mcmaddy, back on topic...........

I've left notes and also said to the service desk how important it is my seat not be moved but it's as if they move it on purpose.
-
Problem is the front desk does not always have direct control over happenings in the workshop. You need to leave a prominent note on the seat if you want to get through to them...
