A similar thing used to happen to my mk3, try sliding it all the way back and then see if it goes forward, it used to work for me.

I think this was a problem a while back?. Something to do with a cheap little plastic catch type thing that brakes?. Cheap from dealers but a bit of a t**t to change.

Hi

I had this issue the cable which comes down from the top of the seat has come out of its housing most likely its snapped.

YYour need to get a new one from VW for about £0.58, its a nightmare to fix

I will find you the guide
