Zac Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I bought the car a week ago and just got in it. Went to adjust the seat and it’s not there. Don’t even know what to search for a replacement. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Are you sure the controls alone are missing? It would be very odd to remove them. Is it possible the whole seat been changed for a non-standard one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 No it’s definitely the original seat as it has the right controls on side like lumbar support. the place the adjustable bar should be has the correct place for it to go as the passage seat. It’s just missing. I don’t know what part to get or where from. I can order a handle easy enough but I need the bar it attaches to as well. I’d be happy if I could just move the seat without it but can’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 All I can suggest is a visit to a car breaker to buy a seat you can take the parts from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If it's been purchased from a dealer then you can take it back for them to fix. I've found this picture, which lever are you missing? The one on the bottom or side of the seat? Have a search for Audi A3 8p seat adjuster etc on eBay or Amazon as I found a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I got a new seat alls working as intended. Thanks everyone it was completely missing and the guy at scrapyard was confused as to why too ha ha. Couldn’t workout why or how the last owner had done it.
