on a serious note, is one not for the heating system and the other for the electronic lumbar support?I asked for electric seats..but I was told by the VW dealer that if I went for the Recaro seats I could not have that option.

You kept them quiet. :innocent:
check the average speed, miles, for food or used condoms under the seat etc etc
yellow plug is for airbag, the other plug is for the sensor in the seat so it knows if someone is there, the seat belt stalk, lumber, heated seats, electric seats etc. on some mk5's they have 3 plugs. your not missing out on anything dont worry.

....That's right.
I know because I've just swopped my oem front seats for...............................DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, GUARANTEED TO TURN YOU GREEN WITH ENVY, RARE AS ROCKING HORSE SH!T, MEGABUCKS EXPENSIVE, RECARO CS SPORTS SEATS !!!! :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
Loud 'n Proud :happy2: 8) :happy2:
I must be the only person who really isn't bothered by the Recaro's then :sleepy:
Nah, Sorry. I just don't see it.
If they were mounted in a 911/R8/GTR/etc then yes, maybe, but I can think of better things to spend that amount of money on in a MK5GTI and cloth too.... :( I prefer Leather or at the very least half leather. The current cloth look does cheapen them imho. I know that cloth provides more grip to the driver, but it looks cheap when they aren't.
As one of your favourite sayings though.... ETTO :happy2:
As good as the Recaro seats may be...the leather used is sh*te...
I was hoping they would have used something like Nappa leather... not something from the hind of a rhino. :fighting:
I'm constantly having to apply leather cream to keep them supple... some of that may be down to them being heated....but still!!!
....VW's cloth is about the same though :signLOL:
It's just as well that I much prefer cloth in a car.
So, Mo, what's the story behind your Recaro's? Bought the car with them already fitted?
I must be the only person who really isn't bothered by the Recaro's then :sleepy:
Nope me too, aesthetically I think they look OK in the car but much prefer a normal sports seat with interlagos cloth, IMHO they are much more what the GTI is about. But as always ETTO :drinking:
Your Ed30 is modded and particularly fast, aren't there lots of moments when you'd benefit from having more seat support?
....I totally accept your preferences of course, but don't understand "they are much more what the GTI is about". I suppose you mean that the original GTI Mk1's never had this kind of seat, but I could argue that there has always been an attempt to include a more physically supportive seat in the GTI version of the Golf.

TBH, I haven't had any issues where I felt the seats weren't supportive enough. :smiley:
I suppose my point is more related to my definition of the GTI that it is a car for all situations, i.e. I can one day go and hoon around a track or down a strip like santa pod, the next day collect the parents and take them for sunday lunch and next drive to work and pick people up for business.
I have driven a GTI with Recaro's in so have had chance to make an informed decision on these, as when I brought my first GTI the dealer had a choice of two on with and one without Recaro's, I choose the one without :smiley:
Like cocopops said in an out and out sports car I completely get the need to have seats like the Recaro's.
But if your pleased with them that's all that inportant :happy2:
I also think MR PG is correct about the everyday use they are in noway an all rounder seat, in a 3 door access to the back is terrible and to look after the bolster you need to be skilled at getting in and out. That said for my needs which is no kids and twisties they are spot on. I would like some more room for my b@lls to settle though. :chicken:
If you are a big fella then i reckon they would not be very comfortable over long distance's. :smiley:

They also are great if you have a woman with a short skirt sitting next to you...cos there is no way out of the seats without providing a glimpse or their asses... :signLOL:
I suppose you mean that the original GTI Mk1's never had this kind of seat, but I could argue that there has always been an attempt to include a more physically supportive seat in the GTI version of the Golf.The seats in the mk1 are very deceptive if you have ever sat in one you will already know this lol and know how narrow and very very bolstered they are, there not made for fat boys thats for sure. I find they have much more side support than the mk5.
