Title: Changing seats
Post by: DF2008 on April 07, 2013, 01:18:05 pm

Hi Guys,

I am changing the seats from Recaro's to a standard GTI  trim before trading the car in.

Will this throw up any error codes or problems I should be aware of?

Both are leather and heated so hopefully should be a simple swop ??

Can anyone confirm

Thanks

The recaro's don't have side air bags like the standard front seats so there could potentially be a problem with your present wiring loom and new front seat.

You could try asking Top Cat as he did this just before selling his car.
