hey, i've got a concept with a faulty passenger leather seat heater, mine (the drivers one obviously) works a treat (infact its a little too hot for me) i havnt had the passenger one fixed as i never sit in the passenger seat. my gf constantly moans about it as she's always cold (typical woman), aparently the actual bit that should get hot needs replacing. costs about £20ish plus fitting so i've been told.

Yep, it'll be the pads in the seat. Last ones on ebay where about £30 ea. Don't know where you can still get them tbh?

[kells]

you can get the heated element pads from the dealers

Recaro leather part no: 535 963 555C

Non Recaro  leather seat part no: 1H0 963 555B

 both around 71 quid each.. this is for the bottom pads (bits under your arse)

hey guys

i have an r reg vr and my prob is that they dont get hot enough, i turn them to max and they only get litle bit hot, does any1 know what is the cause of mine not heating up, i know that they are supposed to get realy hot coz my mates do in his vr,

would i need to change the heating pads or is it a switch problem

p.s. when you turn the number up does the switch make a ticking noise evrytime you change up a number, coz mine doesnt?

thanks

Switch sounds normal, mine doesn't click anyway?

Have you checked the relay under the seat? Does sound like you need new pads anyway - they are made up of a thin wire track & the wire, like a fuse, burns out over time so less & less of the pad actually heats up.

£71 ea! 

Think I'll just stick with a cold bum for now!

Jed mate.. steal the one from the passenger side and make your passenger have a cold arse!

Orr.. just leave it for now, when its cold we can go in my car as mine work

Under the seats there's a relay attached to the subframe, easiest way is to just drop the seat out!

so no other fuses??
