losse / wobbily front seat

Post by AndyBrad » Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:19 pm

Ok so the drivers seat seems to have a small amount of movement. The passenger one does not. This is especially evident under harsh breaking / acceleration.

Ive seen there is a guide replacement for the B5 cars but i cant see anything on the B8

has anyone solved this?

Interesting, can't say ive noticed anything on mine, what bit moves Andy, Is it the base on the track or back of the seat ?

it only does it if i rock the top of the back seat.

this seems to show the pivots arnt moving but there is flex in the seat frame?

I reckon you might need to pull the chair out and upend it Andy, probably the only way you'll figure out what the problem is, I'd hazard a guess at loose fixings, probably an easy sort.
