Finally got myself some..

[RickyP]

The car is nearly all finished off now, perhaps apart from some xenons. Didn't cost me too much, just need to get them fitted now. £340 for fronts, rears and doorcards. From an 05 plate in absolutely mint condition. Anyone got a guide to fitting these seats into my MK2 Phase 2.
Cheers.

 

[Gary-Lew]

Good good good!!!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Pretty good price that.

Djw John has a guide, principles well be pretty much the same for your car.

 

[Chrisjk]

GUIDE?! Easy peasy it is my friend.

GUIDE?! Easy peasy it is my friend.

I tried looking for some guide couldnt really find anything. Is it that easy? I put the rear bottom bench down because they just clip out! Do I just unclip the doorcards off? What about the front seats, do I have to get under the car?..

 

[bmh.01]

Yes you need to get under the car to fit the front seats, there will be 4 bolts for each seat under the car to undo. They you should be able to lift the seat out and unclip the airbag/pretensioner connectors.

 

[RickyP]

Do I have to disconnect the battery or take any safety precautions? Why are these things so complicated!

I think u're still missing something on the car tho... RS lump..

Stuff that, I am out in my car so often I would cry at having to look at mpg in a 2.0...£10 getting me 50 miles or something stupid!

 

[peter182]

nice 1 mate, was it the set of ebay?

 

[RickyP]

Noo it was not! I been outside for 4 hours trying to get that middle bolt to finally detatch the rears and i couldnt get it off, now all the thread is chewed and I dont know where it leaves me. I have never been so pissed off..

 

[kiza1986]

Middle bolts aswell a fcuker iirc... hammer a socket onto it you can or a bigger torx bit (I think its that sort?) into it. Failing that you will have to drill it out but be carefull you don't fcuk up the internal thread.

Yeah I might just take it to somewhere that will fit them for me. Anyone on here in the South Wales area want to fit them for some bucks?

 

[peter182]

try tim?

 

[RickyP]

Is he good with stuff like this then?

 

[VeinAST]

Agh I tried getting the babyseat bar out the back and tore up the skin on my thumb!! Not good

 

[dajones]

i can give it a go for you mate

 

[RickyP]

i can give it a go for you mate

Did you fit your fronts and rears?

 

[Jay_clio]

its easy,

under each front seat, there is 4 rubber gromet under the car, each with 13mm bolts(need deep socket tho) btw 2 bolts are right near the centre box of the exhaust so dont do it when its hot...remove them and seat comes loose, remeber to disconect the battery as they have airbags just incase..

lift out put new 1 in conect back up and bolt back down, job done,

Same for other side

back piece of pi$$

 

[B5 BDJ]

B*****d... i really want a set but am to poor

look mint though mate.

 

[RickyP]

Yeah have done hardly any miles. Yeah I havent got the proper tools to do the job. If I cant find anyone on here, into a garage it goes. I proper screwed the rears up, chewed the thred up, might have to be drilled out now. DAJones friend pay £220 for his, Chris paid £265 for his and I paid £340 for mine, I just took what was nearest to me, and boy are they mint.

 

[dajones]

i think it was £220 its jay_clio ^^ got all the tools etc just gimme a shout. can use my drive as you cant jack the car. ive got a jack and axle stands aswell if needed

 

[Jay_clio]

^ £250 ya numpty,

ye main things you need is basicly a Ratchet 1/2" with a 13mm Deep Socket then job done,

hardest 1's to get are near the centre box which in that case we had to jack up and shift over to get to them. but 1's all bolts are lose easy,
