S3 seats in LCR?

[Icecavern]

Anyone fitted S3 seats into an LCR?

Might be getting some so looking for wiring info to get them plugged into airbags and other electrics.

Well they definitely physically fit, I have my Recaro Speeds that were in my S3 waiting to go in to the LCR.

Airbag connectors should be the same, the heated seats and tilt wiring is NOT present in the LCR though. There was a thread on audi-sport about the very same thing recently (well, fitting S3 seats into an A3) and apparently the short looms from the seat to the fuse box arent available from Audi.

It will be possible to make your own looms up, just a case of finding a circuit diagram...

Yeah I know they fit OK, same fitment as Mk4 golf etc.

Yeah I'm not worried about the heating/motor wiring, I'll work that out no problems and sort out how to connect them. But I was wondering if the airbag plugs would need changing as sometimes Mk4 golf ones seem to need doing.

from what year will the s3 seats fit??

 

[L60N R T]

im guessing all the mk1 leons anyway? maybe even the mk2s?

 

[Icecavern]

Old shape S3 and Mk1 Leon. They have the same seat mountings.

Mk2 S3 won't fit in a Mk1 Leon, they might fit in a Mk2 Leon but I have never looked.

I got a set in mine... Fit like a glove.

No problem....


Plus they recline too... can only think of that being useful for shagging on the back seat...

You will either need to get some connectors from seat or Audi if you want to directly connect them in using the stock parts (as the connectors are slightly different shapes) or supposedly you can just use your own connectors to join the wires but im not 100% convinced on the last one myself as they work on resistance.

The last time i looked into this the plastic connectors were only a few quid each

Fitment is Plug-&-Play.

Current is just a matter of fitting terminals to the plugs and getting current elsewhere.

Airbags need a small resistor to cancel the error.

Very easy really.

Awesome mod

Audi S3 - i think theyre all the same... the previous S3 - Not the current model

Confused here. Are you saying the S3 seats don't have airbags?

Mine had to fit them, coz they where blown.

Got them from an accident car.
