I noticed this as well drivers side back rest wasn't heating up this morning but yet bottom part of seat was heated up nicely?! I tested passenger side and the whole seat works fine. Is this is fuse or something that's gone?

Mine is a 67 plate A4

Central electronics:
65685 - Heated seat backrest; front right - open or short to plus
 
This generally happens when the "element" of the heated seat backrest "breaks" and so causes the error code you see. Its not guaranteed but if it is that, then a new heater element has to be fitted underneath the top layer of fabric/leather.

Cheers

Update:

I took my car down to my mechanic this morning as he was replacing my heated wing mirrors as they had failed and I asked him if he could take a look at my driver side heated seat backrest not heating up and he basically cleaned the connections under the drivers seat and plugged them back in, reset the fault code and now I finally have heated backrest again whoop!!!! So happy haha.
