C5 Front Seats

[Dumbo4]

I'm looking to buy a 2nd series C5 after 14 years with my 2002 SX HDI. As these don't seem to have the front seat adjustable central armrests which I need, are my present seats seats transferable to the newer model. ? Are the floor pans the same? Do any of the 2nd series have them ?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Only the exclusive models of the 2004 to 2008 model C5 are listed as having arm rests on the front seats. I do not know if the mark 1 and mark 2 seats can be transferred, possibly the wiring connections are not the same but I do not know. You could look at the parts diagrams if you register on the service.citroen site as an other professional non emergency services and as a member of the Citroen Owners Club. http://service.citroen.com/do/changerParametres you may need to select your language first.

Thanks Paul h for your responses to my 2 posts. According to the Wiki entry which I've just read, the 04-08 series had new front and rear ends but the same centre section so presumably the seat mountings would be the same. As mine are not electrical this would make a changeover easier, so if I can't find a nice Exclusive it gives me more scope. I'd have to check carefully, of course.

Looking at the parts diagrams for the manual seats with the arm rests, the mark 1 and 2 C5 both have the same seat slide that fastens to the floor and the seat frames are the same. So it looks as if the seats can be swapped but I do not know about the wiring for the air bags, you would need to check if the connectors and wiring colours underneath are the same. The parts diagrams for the seat air bags show similar part numbers for mark 1 and 2 but differences in part numbers depending on the colour and also if the car has lateral trajectory monitoring - if the 2 cars are different then you could swap the air bags over if you strip the seats.
