MK7 VW Golf seats fit MK3 Leon ?

[LeonMk3]

Will the seats from a MK7 golf fit the Leon MK3?

Specifically the rear seats ? The seats on my SE have ripped and I’ve found some cloth ones from a 2016 Golf R from what I can see the method of attachment is the same mounting points etc but will anything else differentiate ?

Has anyone replaced like for like before ?

Yes they do! Leon MK3, Skoda Octavia mk3, Golf mk7 AND mk8 and Audi A3/S3/RS3 8V are all cross compatible in terms of size and mounting

That’s what I like to hear my SE rear seats ripped now you have given me an excuse to swap them with the MK7 Golf R seats I’ve got in the garage

Here are some photos that I collected: Golf 8 R-line and Leon 2 Cupra seats in Leon 3 Plugs are not interchangeable though so you will need to switch them

Plugs don’t effect the rear seats though!

To be honest it's quite hard question that cannot be answered with simple "pretty easy". I've got tools, wiring diagrams and knowledge so for me it's probably a 1-hour job to do this with confidence that everything will work. If you don't have anyone to guide you how to do this (what tools to use, what kind of connectors do you need, what each wire does and where should it be repinned) then you should probably consider leaving it to some kind of professional.

I don't want to discourage you because everything that I know I found on the internet, but I don't want you to blame me for telling you it's easy job when you mess something up.

@East Yorkshire Retrofits can do this for you! He did my heated seat swap for me, worth absolutely every penny AND you can go and have a nice old day at the seaside whilst you’re waiting
