    Where's the driver Recaro up/down microswitch?

    The best thing to do is lift your working seat all the way up you will see them easily. They are in the same spot on each seat. As soon as i touched the micro switch it worked.

    Just Brought An S3 Today!!

    The seat not going up or down is the micro-switch. should cost about £120-£150 from a top garage to fix and thats not expensive ! You'll be glad it's not the motor as the whole seat has to come out and be taken apart to get to it . . . . . Hundreds ! !

    Help - Electric seat not working!

    Should be an easy and simple fix. There are 2 small micro switches fitted under the seat to the frame work. These can snap off or come off and get crushed between the frames. They are there to prevent the seat going too high or low and jamming the motor mechanism. Suggest you take the seat out...

    Audi s3 passenger seat problems.

    There are micro-switches inside the seat, IIRC they are on the same side as the switches you use to adjust the seat. They are tiny - about 12mm x 5mm. You really need to have a look at the A3/S3 interior manual as you'll struggle to find them without it - you are also likely to have to take...
