Heated seat problem
« on: 06 March 2005, 09:04 »
Ive got heated seats in my Vr6 but only the passenger side seems to work :(
Is there anything i can check on the drivers side that might prevent it from working ?

Hi there,

i've got the exact same problem on my colour concept! vw wanted a rediculous price to have it fixed, over ?300, quoting "all labour and very time consuming to take the leather seat cover off" :angry:

It gets better, i was just going to go ahead with it and asked when i could book it it when the service guy says hold on and went through to the body shop. He comes out 2 mins later and says no mechanic is prepaired to do it saying "its a barsteward of a job"

Either vw did'nt want to do it and hoped the price would put me off or its a right c*nt of a job.  :undecided:

An ex VW technician friend of mine told me it is the C*ntiest C*nt of a job to take off and refit a leather seat cover to replace the heating elements.

Slow down ,

Checklist .

1. Fuses
2. Is there any power getting to the seat
3. Is there continuity through the heating elements
4. Is there power before and after the heating switch .

Maybe a daft question and don't know if mk3s are same as mk1s, but I've got heated seats on mine and there is a plug under the seat, has that got disconnected somehow ?  :undecided:
