AUDI A3 Recaros

[daboy3000]

Will 2003 A3 leather Recaro seats go straight in, fronts and backs?

I know people have done this but wasn't sure if adptors are needed and if the back ones go straight in too.

Cheers

As far as I know, they'll go straight in although I think you may need to swap the air bag wiring connectors over. Will you be wanting to use the electric functions on the seats (heating & adjustment)?

 

[daboy3000]

Wasn't fussed about the heating unless its simple. Are you saying you cannot adjust the seats manually, so therefore would have to be wired in? Is this a case of changing the loom etc or just suppling power?

I'm sure Uncle Fester has them in his Leon.

 

[JamJay]

You can still adjust them manually as far as I know.

Just out of intrest are they full or half leather recaro's from the A3? I had a set of half leathers in my A3 sport and they were bloody uncomfy when sat on for a long while thats all.

what kinda price we looking at for a set of these... seet a set on the bay for 700quid....

id like leather, if kiddies come along then itll be less annoying with puke, poo, etc on them than the cloth jobs in there now

 

[daboy3000]

The set i was looking at are meant to be in mint condition, just very dusty from an insurance jobbie for £500 but they are not open at weekends so its tricky to get up there to look at them.

How does that work. Do these cars already have a plug for electric seats? Id be interested in something like this in my Toledo but everything ive seen is electric

 

[james walker]

s3 recaros is the way to go i think, im after tarting mine up, the cloth is starting to look dtaed in my cupra.

actually tbh its not but thats what ill tell the wife..

prefer r32s tbh, but they are dam pricey.

 

[daboy3000]

Yeah, i don't think i've seen them for under £1000, apart from my mates ones, but he'll notice if a swipe them!!

Saw some nice ones from an A8 but it was far to far to go and have a look.

The fitment is P&P.

With regards to the plugs... just need power...

Get 2 terminals on the wires and plug them into the seats original plugs.

You will need some resistors to cancel airbag signal if theyre blown ....
