[Nef]

That will fit fine, the 3 door just means they can tilt right forward too

I fitted mine last month, very easy job but the airbag multiblocks are different......if you have airbags.

Easily sorted out tho

 

[Nef]

how did you sort out the airbag problem mate? is there a thread on how to do it or something.

Passenger seat wiring;

Loom Brown to Airbag Brown
Loom Blue to Airbag Blue
Loom White to Airbag Black

Drivers side;

Loom brown to airbag brown
Loom white to airbag blue
Loom green to airback black

I was lucky enough to sell my seats to someone who didnt need air bags so I cut the multi blocks off my old seats and joined them to the new ones.

Make sure you disconnect the battery before doing anything or you'll bring the airbag light on the dash.

quality, thanks for the help mate. anything else i should know. can you get the connects anywhere else apart fron the OEM seats?

Just cut both connectors off and use bullet connectors.

I was told not to solder as it could slightly change the resistance....how true this is I don't know.

Are they heated? if they are this is a bit more work as you need the carpets up to run the loom through.

If not its a very very easy swap.

get the R32 seats, nice and bucketed style (is bucketed a word???)

So are the golf recaro's......and there not £1000+ a set

Cheers pal, nah there not heated.


LOL, yeah wish i could afford a set of R32 ones. the golf recaros are still a step up from the cupra ones.

Being a bit anal about such things, it would bug me having the 3-door tilts in a 5-door car so I'd have held out for a set of 5-door Recaro's though!! I bought a complete interior with door cards etc a few years back for a Golf I had (Grey on black) for £400 from our fave auction site. Really good seats and worth the change over. Had to change the plugs too - all of 10 mins work using soldered connections and heat shrink over the joint and no issues with airbag lights.
