I will take some pictures of what i had to replace / fiddle with to get them in although i am hoping for a nice easy swap. Only thing to watch out for is airbag connectors - Leons are 3 pin and golf / audi are 4 pin although still only using 3 wires

i would love to have a set of leathers in mine but i dont have electric seats so imagine it would be a nightmare to wire a set of leathers in??
You mean just run a seperate live and earth from each seat? Nice and easy i guess. Run them to the fuse box?
I'll have pics on friday - but i'd wire an inline fuse to each seat live and a seperate earth for each seat - it may even be that one of the wires is a switched live and one is permanent for seat memory - will find out once i see the wiring diagrams from the S3 on friday

there are no memory buttons on the S3 seats well the old shape any way...These..
Yep, you have a up and down, back rest back and forward and a lumber suport in and out, and as you said just a live and neg wire to plug in , i allready had this as i had the LC electric leather, but seats are miles better, just got to sort the heated bit out but the switches are £35 each i have the wiring loom so thats not an issue just got to get round to spending £70 odd on switches which is proving a bit hard.
I have a set of plugs if you need them.

Thankfully i have the plugs from the Audi and a short section of loom so the wiring should be e asy enough, my amp power cable runs down the central transmission tunnel so there's a good power source there
Do yours work with ignition off or only when the car is started?

i just got in from work and went onto ebay but the man has removed the seats from auction!!
but there is a set of seats out of an S3 but they are half blue alcantara and half black leather, not too sure if these would suit my silver leon lol, they do look comfortable though!

Should fit ... but alcantara can be a pig to keep from marking - however they ARE nice seats! How long has the auction left to run?

That's a fair price, i paid 400 delivered for black leather - IF the condition is GOOD it's worth it. However Alcantara cannot be conditioned like leather if it's worn - it has to be replaced.
Nice one cheers Phil - out of interest, they look a tight fit is that right? And also did you have to find bolts to hold the front brackets as opposed to the nuts that held the original seats in place?
No no tighter than the original leather although the bolsters are bigger, i used the same fixings that held the old seats in place, if i remember all the fixings are bolts, was a while ago and i am getting old

Ahh - sounds easy enough then. i have new guide rollers as the ones on the S3 seats were wrecked - only cost me £11 for the new ones
Interesting, it say's bolts are bigger when it should be "bolsters"
You will love them, are you going to the national meet? we should have a S3 interior section
