Heated seats

Recommended Posts

hi

as a new owner i have a question about the heated seats,is it just the back of the seats that are meant to heat up or the bottom as well ?

as mine seem to heat up on the back then fade away and not seem to re-heat much at all.i have been driving a 2010 golf for a couple of months and i could have set the seats (they have a temp control) to whattever i wanted ,i now this was a newer/different car but not sure what to expect from the 350,and as its under warrenty i thought i'd ask the experts !

many thanks !

They are designed to come on and warm the leather up to a certain temp then they cut off.

When they get below a certaintemp they come back on again.

If you are skinny they will stay on longer.

If like me you are a fat barsturd then they will heat up quicker.

 

Agreed but the ones on my dads car heat faster and better. Also dont keep going cold and hot. they stay at a good and nice temp.

They certainly dont go as cold as the OP says theirs does.

Mine are like 20 mins on and 5 off.

It must be a temp sensor issue!

 

Mine definitely dont do this. I am 15 mins off, 1 min on, and repeat. I've always thought it could be a faulty thermostat or something, but never been bothered to follow it up.

There are a lot of ways to damage the system for want of a better word.

One has alreafy been mentioned and thats movement of the seat over time

to include rough handling when taking the seat out of the car for instance.

One big no no that I was informed about years back was the practice of kneeling on the seat

to reach over the back or other side.

Apart from making the leather sag it can damage the heting pad or element whatever its called.

I am not an authority, just repeating what I was told by someone in the know!
