Title: Springy thing under the drivers seat thing...
Post by: polarGti on 03 January 2008, 07:24

OK, so I am not a techie like the majority of you on here..and remember it's my wifes car anyway.. :laugh:

However I was allowed to drive it to the beach yesterday and I noticed whilst scrabbling around under the drivers seat for a stray coin that a large spring had 'come adrift'. Next to it was a small piece of cast metal and a piece of broken plastic.

The seat works in all planes and there are no obvious faults?

Any ideas team? :undecided:

Happy New Year to you all.

this has happened to me aswell ... the seat all seems to work fine including the height adjustment just the only difference i seem to notice is that to "pump" up the seat it takes a lot more effort than before!

Morning Team

Yes thanks they all seem to work fine. I've been underneath...my what a lot of space you have to work in....and I can see where it all goes...main exciting part appears to be a ratchet which has a lot to do with pumping the seat up and down. It certainly doesn't appear to have anything to do with the pre-tensioners and that was my initial concern..I guess my good lady will have to pump harder.. :shocked:
