Recaro seat question…help !!

Post by otterolly » Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:29 am

Hi
I have got a set of Recaro seats from the b7 S4 and have a question. On the subframe there is a cross brace upon which a little motor is mounted. The cross brace spans between the 2 seat runners that bolt to the floor, and is mounted approximately half way down the runners. The cross brace on the seats I have bought is loose and moves about, it has 2 fixing holes at each side which looks like there was a fixing into the seat runners. Could anybody tell me what these fixings need to be ?? Or post up a pic showing the fixings ?
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Well I tried to upload a pic of my S4 seat but failed miserably, couldn't get the small file into the gallery to link to. Basically where you have highlighted I have a couple of quite large hex headed bolts so you do have some screws missing.

See if you can get some bolts with the same thread - only needs to be same length and thread - the torx head doesn't matter a great deal.

You might be able to get the bolts from Audi - ETKA lists loads of bolts when you look in it....
Wanted: C5 RS6 Avant

Audis are cheaper than women, and when they finally leave they don't take your kids and half your stuff....
although smack either one about and the police turn up ;-)
