I had that same problem with the seats in my mk4. It is indicative of dirty seats! Just give them a good scrubbing, then a thorough drying out and you should find the problem will disappear.

As for what to clean them with, have a look in your owners manual, I think it recommends something in there.

I just clean my seats with a damp microfibre cloth and this seems to work better than anything else i've tried. Just make sure to wipe all the grey area evenly or you will see water marks when it dries. For any stubborn stains like chocolate etc. Comma interior cleaner is good.

Megs APC and Atuosmart G101 are both multi purpose cleaners that are meant to also be great on interiors.  Never tried either on seats but after spilling some pink (yes, pink) Lucozade i'll need to try something

I have also some stains on my seats which look like dried water.

I have some of this, just need to get round to giving the seats a good clean.

I found no matter how many times I clean my seats they look good then after a few days when they dry out stains come back I Definately miss the leather from my gti lol I've been using autoglym interior shampoo but have tried a few products I had in the house but no luck
