Title: R32 recaro retrofit heated seats not working!
Post by: vag12 on December 07, 2014, 01:10:46 am

I just fitted r32 recaros in to my Gti and the heated seat in the drivers side is not working. It was working before installation from the r32, I checked all 3 fuses for the heated seats so not too sure what it is, but winter is here I need them working!

Check your old seats underneath them and see what sides have a small plastic box - fag packet(ish) size under them. Then check to see if the R32 seats have them in the same side/sides. When I was working out how to retro fit heated seats into my R seats it seems that early MK5 have this control box on both sides and later ones have it on the passenger side only. I think an adaptor is available if this is why - somewhere to start anyway  :happy2:
