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?

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:
