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.

ya without wiring you wont be able to move the passanger seat.

Looks like that's the only issue!
Meh, hafta pass on the seats...

Thanks guys!

does anyone know if 2001 audi a4 seats will fit in my 1996 audi a4? i got the entire black leather interior for 100 bucks in awesome shape. my 96 has cloth material so it was a must to have leather but also my 96 has a powerd driver seat but manual passenger and the 01 leather seats both are powerd. any way i can run power to the passenger seat?

of course... run lines under your carpet over there, and hook it up

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.
