Do the colours not match? They did when i updated seats on my A4

theres no wire with a red plug on the seat, also the yellow air bag plug on the seat is a square block plug, but the other yellow plug it goes into is thin

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

cant see as its dark now, from the car, on the yellow plug theres 2 wires, one yellow,blue and the other yellow green, from the seat there is 3 wires going into the yellow block which is larger than the seat connnection

Jw, did you take out the seat, because ive heard they weigh alot and much less a non electric seat would weigh?

I think you will find that the WIRE colours will match, just that the plugs are different. You could probably remove your old plugs and splice them to the new seat of a plug n play option

my thoughts, just wanted peoples opinions, and oh my are they heavy, wonder if the s3 recaros are the same, stupidly heavey, my old fiat coupe ones were half the weight

 

[emery1990]

Ah thats a good thing really, can be replaced with my lighter ones then, was they easy to take out, like kinda common sense?

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

very easy, fool proof, either a 13mm nut X2 on the front of the seat when you push it all the way back or X2 torque screws, depends if male of female bracket

S3 Recaros weigh 36KG each!!!

know the weight of the turbo seats

I rekon mbit less or the same, i have not got heated but have got adjustable lumbar. But was reading the lightweight recaros are in the rs4's and r32's. Basic they weigh 15kg, saw rs4's for £200 on ebay, but was heated and electric, i would want just the plain lightweight recaros. would save about 30kg in total.
