Title: Seat enquiry
Post by: golfgti10 on March 16, 2014, 09:18:39 pm

I found a set of new seats, but the car was involved in a crash and the airbags have gone off

My question the guy selling these says they have been repaired with new airbag is this possible or is he just trying to sell them

It is possible but the cost is generally prohibitively so.

As you've been so hopeful

With the seats can I remove the bottoms and swap the frame and wiring looms etc over?

No... why would you?

The wiring looms are all plug and play. Not getting into this heated seat malarky again!  :sad1:

The tensioners are not in the seat there on the actual belt mechanism,  so that shouldn't be an issue
