Heated seat element replacement

[as2q]

Hi lads,

Been in touch with Audi for new heated seat elements for my drivers seat but they are NLA for the S2, which alternatives are available? Couldn't find anything on the search, would ones out of an A4 work? any BTDT on this?

Cheers

Martin

I'd be interested to know your findings as my passenger recaro doesn't heat the back only the base.

Cheers mate these should do the job

You should be able to buy them from Recaro as well.

will these work though? The oem ones have a built-it thermostat which is why you can adjust the setting on them.

agree

Just get a pair of seats from a a4 breaker and rob the elements out of them.

[audinut]

adjust the settings? - surely warm bum or not warm bum is enough

[as2q]

Yeah I see that now no mention of a thermostat in the description hmm. If ones out of an A4 will work ok I'll source a pair from that

Cheers

good thing the A4 replacement has been confirmed. I'm needing one also Martin so we could split between the chairs.

Cool, need to find an A4 now with a pair of working elements

DO NOT BUY THOSE!

I bought a set for the A6 and they are s**t, I could get the seat hotter by farting! I'm just glad I checked them before going to all the trouble of fitting them. I'm now looking for some OE one that will fit as I'm sure the A6 ones are NLA too

Cheers for the heads up Andy I was tempted to buy them earlier glad I didnt

I'm going to give Audi a shout tomorrow see how much the A4 ones cost, I'll report back with a price

Element itself is just a piece of wire and it's repairable if broken

I've not used these myself but I'd be cautious about condemming them if you haven't fitted them as they won't appear to get warm if you just turn them on in free space.
Put them between blankets or duvet and see if they get warm then.

Check that they consume the 5 amps they say they do. If they do that's 70 watts which is more than enough to warm even the coldest bum
