Problems with taking seats out?
« on: September 20, 2012, 01:46:19 pm »
Did a full detail on the car yesterday and not happy with little bits down side of front seats and would like to take them out!

I have 3 door with heated leather.

Will error codes come up?

As long as you take off your battery since there are aribags in them you'll be fine mate ;)

In any particular order ?

Thanks

Very true, it's the one reason why I havnt done it as of yet!
Had a 320d msport compact before this and that just had to be mapped :signLOL:
But still in love with the gti power, am finding I need more in the higher revs. But can't complain!

I did 23,000 miles before I remapped - It's a good thing to get to know a new car well before considering a remap. Also, IF you ever remap you'll appreciate the differences more.

Hmm, I was taught that you should remove the negative (black wire) terminal first.
Without traction power is nothing!

.... x 2. I can't be arsed to go that far either. A car hoover with a narrow nozzle and brush heads is enough for me.

But I have witnessed a friend using a genuine sable paintbrush to remove dust from around a car door! They did subsequently get a prize for winning the show though.

No, you should map it after doing less than 200 miles in it.......that's my ethos :driver: :laugh:
