gilern Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hello all, my first post as I'm newly registered but have been looking at the site for some time. My car is a 1.6 hdi VTR mkII on an 06 plate. Reason for the post is that my drivers seat seems to have lost its full support. The car has done about 90k and earlier this week the seat started to have a huge a mount of give in it when cornering and braking, specifically the seat adjacent to the seat belt can be pushed down without too much force being applied - passenger seat is rock solid. Took the seat out today and fully expected to find something broken or loose but there is nothing obvious that I can see out of place. Could it be that the coil spring giving the support has just had its day or is there another explanation? Since putting the seat back in I have adjusted the height to lift the seat and this appears to give it more support but still not like before. Any advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks Quote
paul.h Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I may be wrong, but I vaguely remember a few years ago posts about a seat frame breaking and needing welding up/replacing. There is a post dated July 3rd 2009 on this subforum, about page 27, found by a search on 'driver seat' but it would not open in the search results (error 404). It was located by going back on the forum pages looking for the date shown in the search results. Quote
