Seat Foam Groaning

[Juliand]

Just when I thought I had rattle free Mk 5 GTI, I got in yesterday (car only used once a week), to find that the seat was creaking / groaning at me. After a bit of 'narrowing down', it seems that it is the foam inside the seat groaning a bit - i can replicate the noise by moving the seat bolsters / back upright foam a bit from outside the car. Not massive, but annoying me already - like when you are at junctions, moving very slightly in the seat. Seats are heated (obviously not on.....yet) - and the tartan check fabric  type - not leather

Any thoughts, anyone??  Flippin annoying....

It's possibly rubbing off something like the arm rest?

Mine are leather and I eliminated it by applying leather care cream, leaves them softer so they don't stick!

In your case, adjust the seat in several positions or turn up the radio 

Those noises are a pain though in all fairness, I got one yesterday so I just closed the window and tried to block it out!
