I tried to price this with VW and the heated element is part of the seat cover and came out at around the £600 mark. Not sure about the loom etc!  :happy2:

You'd also have to check you have the correct loom installed under the seat.

I know where it is but what it looks like???

Push your seat back as far as it will go and there is a plastic cover which can be unclipped and it should reveal the connections that the plug for the seat would fit into.
