are these recaro's heated?

[Zeal 0]

probably the wrong time of year to look into this, anyway...

i bought these seats off the forum.

when i was installing them i noticed they had what looks like heater elements underneath,

i know a lot of corrado seats are heated, but i'm not sure what year car my seats come from etc..

at the time when i bought them somebody said their from a golf rally, but the seller told me different.

 

could somebody with real knowlage help me out pleas?

maybe i'l plug my heater matrix back in sometime this year too!

 

:shrug:

look at the base of the seat mate, if there heated there wil be a plug for the heated seat loom.

Yeah mine have the wiring for the electric tilt,height,two plugs at the switches and an additional one under the seat base for the heated pads.

No can tell from looking at that pic.

 

If you roll it on it's back have a look for the sockets underneath. If they're pukka Corrado Recaros, they'll have 4-way electric adjustment. This has a basic 2-pin plug underneath.

 

If they're heated as well, there will be a second, 4-pin plug underneath for the heater elements.

 

No plug, no heat. :)

 

Bear in mind you'll also need the loom, hideously expensive relays and switches to power them...

if you need the switches for the seats?? i have some brand new ones you can purchase.

thanks,

don't be jealous, my engine sounds like it's about to fall apart, and i have no spare money to fix it, so i havn't hardly used them yet.

 

i guess it's probably not worth looking for the plugs but i'll have quick look anyway.

 

i don't like the sound of hideously expensive, maybe a good thing their not electric.

i knew somebody would know just by looking at them.

just had a look underneath the seats, and firstly i found £3.01p :) and as dinkus said "no plug no heat" their is a position for two plugs tho, they must have been thinking ahead.

 

did noticed a sticker reading corrado. does that make them the right seats for the age of the car? 91 H reg

 

my switches are ok i think, maybe need some contact cleaner, cheers for the offer anyway.

The seat will have part numbers starting with 535 if it's Corrado seats (or indeed any Corrado-specific parts)

I've got some heated black leather seats, I'll swap them for yours!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

They look the same as mine ( except the colour of course :wink: ) and mine aren't heated, only electrically adjustable.

I think they could well be, but either way they look like they've been re-trimmed.

The bolsters look more rounded to me, but you may be right :camp:

They weren't cheap, I'll admit to that much!

 

Mine are genuine Corrado ones, they both have the original stickers on the base stating the fact, also that they are from a 91 car. The seat backs do not have recaro embossed in then though so I'm thinking they were cloth ones that got retrimmed some time. Worth every penny though, at least I don't climb out with a broken back after a three hour drive now :clap:

just to clear this up, i had another look underneath the seat and found the 535 part number and corrado text,

the seller told me they were recovered by mj interiors, they still have recaro text on them though which looks like it was printed silver at some point.

the bar-code sticker under the seat has a date of 15.09.89, very early seats.

 

two way electric adjustable non heated
