on the 2001 quattro im trading for the recline lever is broken and ill have to fix it. According to the guy his dad was in the car and yanked on it to hard and it broke a gear thats inside. So now the lever hangs loose and can spin all the way around. just wondering if anybody has any idea on how to fix this, whether or not its something i can do myself or not. its really annoying because the way this guy drove he nearly was laying down so its pretty uncomfortable to be stuck where it is. thanks for any info

 

It's actually a **** you turn to recline. Theres a **** on each side of each seat, so maybe one well work. Otherwise, be careful taking the seats out, as the air bags are inside the seats.

 

^yup
remember to disconnect the batt before you pull the seat out and unhook... I usually just say be careful around anything that is in yellow loom cuz that is typically airbag stuff lol

 

when you say **** you mean the handle you pull to recline the seat right? so theres one on each side?

 

NO,,,there is a rotary shaped **** (not handle) that you twist/turn to recline the seats. There is one on each side.


The handle actually raises and lowers the ride height of the seat.

 

what? really? i was under the impression that the handle reclined the seat...oh well i assume you guys are right ive been in the car all of two times. when you say there is one on each side do you mean one **** on each side of each seat? as in two ***** per seat? i dont mean to be anoying im just trying to figure a car out that i know very little about

 

Yes. 2 ***** per seat. The **** is better then lever, because it has infinate adjustment points, rather then only about 15 points as with the lever type seats. The up-down lever also has infinate adjustment points. Kinda like power seats, where you can never get the seat exact the same after someone moves it.

I wonder why the tt never got power seats??

 

cool. thanks man. trade went through. ive got the TT

 

Holy crap that was a long thread about adjusting the seat...

 

lol. the lever is to adjust the TT from daily driving mode to a low "sport mode"

i usually it have it in "sport mode" 24/7
