    Hi, I recently discovered a radiator leak and ordered a new one. The old one ( Marstons) had a lip on the top of the rad. The air con radiator mount was fixed to this lip on either side of the radiator. I have ordered a new radiator but it does not have this lip. Does anyone know where to get the old style radiator? or has anyone fixed the problem another way? Many Thanks

    Took seat out today. The guide really helped. Found that the wires had disconnected at a note at the base of the element. Soldered these but unfortunately still does not work. Will check other wires tomorrow

    http://www.vagparts.com supplied the element but i think i'll try and repair the original one first. Good luck with the exams

    How long does it take to take the seat out and remove the element?

    I was told it was the seat element! It does work intermittently which makes me think the wires linking them are ok? When the buzzing starts the seat stops working? Do you think it could be a short in the element? When i pulled out the relay the cover for the passenger seat came off. Don;t think i damaged it but i suppose it's a possibility. Are the relays easy to get hold of?

    Took both relays out today ( not too difficult a job but the relays were difficult to remove) and switched them over..... no buzzing now but the seat does not work. Will try the heating element fix at the weekend

    yeah that is where the noise is coming from....... VAG told me that I needed a the element in the heated seat replacing. Is it easy to desolder..... resolder? Never took that panel out before..... is it difficult or just on clips? Many Thanks

    Has anyone removed the base element for heated seats. Main dealers have told me it's a 3.5 hour job! I have managed to acquire an element but have no idea where to start! Help would be appreciated. Thanks
