I think you will need to check the fault codes using VAG-COM or similar.

Do a search on here. Very common issue.

Will be a dodgy connection under the seat probably, very common.

Normally easily fixed with a bit of wire waggling/terminal cleaning but unfortunately code cannot be cleared without a reset tool such as Vag-Com or various other scanners.

Sure someone on here will be happy to sort it for you - I am but I live in Cambridge.

Tighten up connection and spray with WD40 etc., I found that helped no end.
