heated seat retro fit
« on: November 20, 2009, 06:09:38 pm »
Hi guys
I was just wondering if it is possible to retro-fit
heated seats to my gti
I've seen elements/pads for mk4 on e-bay which are gen vw parts
any help/suggestions?

Cheers
Stu

i asked this, i think the answer was the heater pads are built into the seat cover rather than a pad u can buy....also you need to make sure you have the loom installed.

+1 you'd be better off buying the entire seats but then you'd have to wire in the heater controls too.

I have bought the heat gti seats and the loom of kufatec. They are easy enough to do but I am unsure of a few wire locations and kufatec wont help so it doesn't work at the moment!  :sad1:

Hi ollie i bought 2 tpms looms from kufatec and neither of them work with my car and to be honest kufatec were about as much help to me as they were to you :mad: :mad:
all they care about is getting your money,if there looms only work with certain controllers they should state that on the item info  :fighting:

sorry for being off topic but i just hate being ripped off!!!

Hi Golfman, I know what you mean they are helpful when you express an interest in buying the products but as soon as I received it they have been no help. Interesting to know it is not only me how is experiencing a bad service! I am about to buy the xenon self levelers off them but I am thinking what if they do this again!
I noticed your thread on golfmk5 about wanting xenons. I have seen a few sets on ebay at minute dont know if you have seen them. Defiantly worth getting I am really pleased with mine!
Cheers
Ollie :happy2:
