Heated seat warmth a bit.....pathetic ?

Ah interesting, I thought the Golf R when I tested them out on the test drive were slower than my mk6 GTD, but it will be interesting to see what level it is set to.

I was chatting to my dealer last week when I was in picking up some screen wash, and he said "are you in the car now ?" I said yes, and within minutes, my master tech friend had it in the back with the computer hooked up. Moments later he came back saying "I've tweaked the settings, they were a little low".

Tried the heated seats the next day and it's a revelation, every bit as hot and as quick to heat up as the Rocco was. Interestingly, only the driver seat needed tweaking, the passenger seat heated up no problem, so I guess it just wasn't programmed right at the factory ?

Sootchucker- I am experiencing the same problem as you, would you be so kind as to ask your master tech friend what parameters need to be altered to remedy this issue?

Sadly, my Master Tech friend has moved from VW to Mercedes (should keep him busy  ), and he's also moved down to London so I don't see him any more. When I get the earliest opportunity though, I'll have a scan of my car with VCDS and see what the adaptation channels show.

That would be most helpful and appreciated, thank you sir!

Hey Sootchucker, have you had a moment to do the scan by chance?

sorry i completely forgot, i'll try and do it tomorrow for you.

That would be great, thanks!

Hey sootchucker were you able to get that data?

Hey sootchucker were you able to get that data?

You'll find the adaptation channels labels and factory set temperature values on previous page, post #15, thanks to jivemonkey. I can confirm that they are the same on my GTI, however I have changed the temperatures a bit for the first and second settings.

Seat heating stage 1 lower switching threshold      28.50 °C
Seat heating Level 1 Upper threshold              29.50 °C
Seat heating stage 2 lower switching threshold      28.50 °C
Seat heating Level 2 Upper threshold              29.50 °C
Seat heating stage 3 lower switching threshold      39.00 °C
Seat heating Level 3 Upper threshold              40.00 °C
Seat heating stage 4 lower switching threshold      39.00 °C
Seat heating Level 4 Upper threshold              40.00 °C
Seat heating stage 5 lower switching threshold      52.50 °C
Seat heating Level 5 Upper threshold              53.50 °C
Seat heating stage 6 lower switching threshold      52.50 °C
Seat heating Level 6 Upper threshold              53.50 °C

I tried modifying these settings a while back and didn't get any change in my seats sadly.
