Default Which seats will fit my A4 B5 1.8T Auto?

I am looking for front and back seats in leather for my A4 B5 1.8T Auto.

Can somebody tell me which seats will fit in apart from the obvious ones from the same model.

Thanks.

^^^ yes if he's willing to get custom. For a drop-in, no-mods-required replacement, they have to be A4 seats, and you have to swap manual for manual or power for power. Manual and power seats have different rails.

Depends on what I was saying. If you have manual seats and the S4 seats are manual, they'll drop in. Ditto if both sets are power. If you have manual and they're power, you have to cut out your center rail and drill the floorpan to fit the S4 seats. If you are replacing a power seat with a manual one you have to weld in the center manual seat rail. You can drop them in if each replacement seat is the same as the one it's replacing with respect to power or manual adjustment.

It depends on your mechanical aptitude, tools, and courage. They may just bolt in, I'm not sure. But anything can be put in if you have the skill set to do so. We don't know what your tools and skills are like so there's no way to know.
