Default Seat swap

Hi guys,

I've got a potential to swap my seats (cracking/burn marks) and had a few questions before I proceed...

I've got an 03 1.8T with the driver seat being power only.
The passenger seat is manual (not electric). I'm not certain about the airbags...

The seats that I want to purchase are both power seats and off of an 02 3.0.
Am I going to run into trouble replacing a non-powered one with a powered one?
Are there connectors in my car to power up the new seat? Any other issues that might be problematic, with airbags for instance?

Please let me know!
Thanks.

fitment should be the same. But u probably need some wiring to do for the passenger side because like you said it didnt come powered when u first got it.

The seats will fit the tracks and mount in the car but I am not sure of anything with the wiring so they may not plug right in. The 2001 has side impact air bags so there will be extra plugs for these on each seat that won't be used.
