hi people, needing a little help PASSENGER SEAT STUCK AND WONT SLIDE!

[Waynegtimk5]

Bought my first gti 3-4 weeks ago and never noticed the passenger seat was stuck and wouldn't slide back and fourth, until my kids tried getting in and it won't budge ,
I've done the obvious and visually checked the runners but can't see anything, seat is stuck fully back right next to rear seats and it's annoying lol

Thanks in advance

mine did that and turned out a £1 coin had got wedged in the runners

Haha always the way will have another look but can't see anything and can't take seat out as the bolts are hidden because it's full back arghhh

Mine did exactly the same the other week. Jack the seat right up on the handle on the side so you can see better and compare it to the other side. There is a lever that somehow gets the wrong side and it just needs flicking back into place. It might not be the same as mine but worth a look.

Hope that helps

As above, one of the most common problem along with the slider thing....

One is free to fix, the other is pence.

I recently had this problem and that post helped the “holder for bowden cable” was broken. "3 door only"

But i could still slide the seat forward and back with the main adjustor at the front.

Prior to that the piece below snapped of the rail and jammed the seat. "again 3 door only"
