Got Grey Electric Heated Electric Recaro's in my new one! :D

 

Only prob is the heater doesnt work on the passenger side, and the electrics half work, thought it was still worth getting the car tho, as you dont see many with the recaro interior, if i get chance, will post some pics

 

only thing, can anyone tell me why they have the seat release on both sides? and why it isnt big enough to hold the seat belt, like the non recaros do, may be a daft question, but just wondering, only had the car since saturday and just noticed it last night!

What C have you bought?

 

I wondered if it was something to do with the seats being symmetrical so they could be fitted to both sides of the car, but I havent had a proper look yet.

 

My passenger seat will lift but not go down, I swopped the switch with one from the drivers side and it works ok.

 

I have opened up the faulty switch but so far cannot see what is wrong with it.

 

Its a 'VW' switch with VW part number, might ring the dealer for a price for a good laugh!

I've no idea what purpose the levers on both sides serve other than to say "hey I've got Recaros" :lol: and sure, they're not as practical as the standard seat levers, but hey, they look cooler! :lol:

The C's a 94M Blackberry with Grey Leather VR6 Auto, and before anyone knocks the auto - try it, cause i had a manual last time, and the auto aint much different acceleration wise, did think twice about the auto, but the cars only done 79K and she's in very good nick

 

I may try to change one of the switches, see if it makes a difference, not fiddled round with the passenger side yet so not sure what works on that one

Nice, thats where i've got my recaro's from, a '93 VR6 Auto!

 

The kickdown is good, if you prod the throttle quick enough you (dont even need to full throttle) it will drop two gears and fly! it doesnt change up until the red line either!

 

Only thing is , it sometimes stalls on multi-storey car park ramps, embarassing!

Never been sat in the driver seat and had a passenger trying to get in the back with a couple of bags?

:lol: Nobody was mad enough to get into my car as a passenger

 

It didn't help that the previous owner had taken the middle levers off so it was easier for him to strap the kids in the back :roll:

when you turn the seat heat on or off you should hear a relay in the passenger side qurter panel click, each seat has its own relay

The Storms that had cream leather were all RHD, so shouldn't be too hard finding a pic of the interior ;)

I think I've only ever seen about 6 sets of them because most people that could afford the extra for Recaros spent the extra again to get them in leather.
