Hey i was just wondering if anyone had there heated seat fixed by anyone but the dealer and how much it cost and were they satisfied. Also has anyone just ordered a new heating element and if so how hard was it to install? thanks

 

Rock out a search. I know someone just talked about this. And yes... there was simple instructions on how to replace the heating core yourself. It's a b!tch and a half. I would find out how much it costs throught the stealership first.

 

replacing the heating elements isnt all that difficult of a task, if you have an upholstrey experience then you will be fine.. just gotta carefully remove the skin of the seat bottom.. then remove the elements.. and put the new ones on. the re attach the upholstrey

 

My drivers side sets my right butt cheek on fire when its turned on 1 now for some reason... I hate it I cant even use it anymore... Ive heard of someone with the same problem, anyone know what the deal is with that symptom?

 

Is the heating element in 2 sections? I've got to ask the Audi service manager a couple of ? later, i'll ask.

 

how do you know if your car has heated seats? lol 98 a4 1.8t

 

youd have 2 scroll toggles in the center console by the shifter with 1-6. and they would have an image of a seat on it



ps you'd only have it if your car has the cold weather package (which also comes with a ski sack)

 

I dunno.. But the likely response from an audi tech manager is "only way we can find out is by taking a look" so thanks in advance if you find anything out, id be surprised if you get anywhere whithout paying for something first.

 

dealer wants 900$ and there is no way in hell i a paying that, red goat you said you have to remove the "skin" how might i go about doing that. do you take the whole see out or just work on it while its in. thanks

 

Would a Bently manual show the precedure??... Im debating on wether or not to get a boost gauge or the bently manual for my next what seems like monthly buy.
