Mk5 General Area / Re: Seat fabric / cover

I've been told by an upholsterer that the stitching is different (weaker?) on the airbag side compared to the other side so you should state that when selling really.

Other VAG / Re: GVKs Scirocco GT TDi

So,went to Cadwell park on Sunday to watch the racing, it was a wash out and car parks were water logged! When I went to leave got stuck on the wet grass and tried turning ESP off to help traction. No beuno! No matter what I did with the button it wouldn't turn off.

Had a look on eBay for a button and it was a minefield, from a Chineseum special for £8.95 to  Lithuanian seller advertising them for over £60! So I went to local VW dealer Crowsons of Spalding and got a genuine VW one for £35. The design has been replaced to one with a skidding car rather than the ESP OFF text, replaced in 2011.

Can't see why not... you'll just get an engine light on probably with p0420 code for cat efficiency.

Found this broken line in the engine bay next to the expansion tank, already snapped off. Have no idea what it is?? I also have a code P0171 saying my engine is running lean.

It sounds not dissimilar to the fuel line rattle - but that sounds like it's coming from the driver's footwell?  But infact it's under the car.

Mk5 General Area / Seat fabric / cover

« Last post by Birchy on April 28, 2024, 08:51:46 pm »

After some thoughts / input if it’s ok to ask here?

I managed to get ahold of a pair of NOS heated seat covers for MK5 GTi front tartan seats. Both base and backrest. I’ve used one of them and have one spare as my passenger seat is in good condition still.

My question is what I should be asking price wise? I can’t find any others online to compare for price. Also how I should describe it to stand out from generic seat covers?

One thing I should mention is that the only difference is that the airbag tag on the backrest will be on the inside of the seat rather than the outside. I’ve included a picture to show what I mean. It doesn’t affect how the cover fits.

Thanks!
