Wompa 0 Posted December 15, 2012 Hi! Im looking for the heated seat wiring loom for my Corrado. Any one with that laying around? ;) Cheers! //Thomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james153 0 Posted December 15, 2012 Hi, I also had this but they seem pretty pricey, I'm looking into making some up as an auto electrician think it should be simple enough, let me know of its something you might be interested in. Thanks James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted December 15, 2012 Hi James, I also need a loom and so if you do start making them, let me know. Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted December 15, 2012 Even with a made up loom you still need the relays (maybe still available) and the switches (obsolete). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted December 15, 2012 The switches are the same on some older models of Sharan, although they have a different outer casing, but the internals are almost identical, the wheels turn the opposite way but work perfectly. I swapped the internals of mine recently 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted December 15, 2012 A couple of pics of the switches, the Corrado one has a rectangle outer case, the Sharan one is rounded . Plug at the back is identical. I replaced mine as the black plastic started peeling away on the passenger side,i glued it but it was very messy,as you can see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted December 16, 2012 AZR Tuning do all the bits required, but are a bit pricey. But at least it may give you an idea of what you will required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted December 26, 2012 This doesn't look too bad, we could use a loom from a MK3 as price on Kufatek looks decent, extend any wires that need extending, that is easy enough. Use a sharan switch and make a new square from to place it in. Not a huge amount of work but definitely down at the bottom of my list right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugopnosaj 0 Posted December 27, 2012 After delivery and conversion rates you've looking around £70 for a mk3 loom, then there will be a small amount of extension required. A VW Sharan switch is anywhere from £10+ and you'll have to mod a blank to fit it in, the next problem is sourcing the relays. Does anyone have a relay part number as I can't find a clear answer... Are the relays necessary or can the loom be modified for standard automotive relays? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Relays when available were around 75 quid each and you need 2 of them. I do have one left, price as usual 110 quid posted, and before you say it's to much I've sold two of them at that price in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugopnosaj 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Sorry mate, but people are selling them on eBay for £50-60 a side, I'm not that desperate and if necessary, I'll work around it. Like I said, are they that important or can standard automotive relays be used? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eugopnosaj 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Cool thanks, in terms of looking for elements to retrofit (in answer to your post), there are kits on ebay or, when I retrofitted them to my Valver I bought some cheap heated seat covers and took the elements out, split them so there was a top and bottom, bought some wire and cheap switches and fitted it all. The leather seats in my VR have already got the elements but no wiring etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The leather seats in my VR have already got the elements but no wiring etc... Thanks. I did consider using an aftermarket kit but decided to hold out for original parts so it plugs in as oem. That way if I ever change thw seats for leather then its a simple matter to swap and different plugs wont be an issue. Also emu might mean £110 for the entire loom including relays as thats about what they sell for (give or take). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugopnosaj 0 Posted December 27, 2012 hmm, it didn't sound like it in terms of his reference to the cost of a single relay but you could be right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
