Seat warmer weak

[Victorofhavoc]

I always have a pocket watch in my back pocket.

LOL. I goofed big time yesterday and spilled an entire chocolate protein shake in my passenger seat in traffic.

I took the seat apart in order to get into every nook and cranny and ensure the cushion wasn't soaked with it. This got me a pretty good view of the heating element. I can take a photo and share later of what it looks like and you'll see what I mean.

For now, here's a photo of my goof up,

As I cleaned this up, I grabbed a photos of the lower heating element assembly. You can see where the wires are and how thin they are.

Glad I found this thread, I was about to ask the dealer is my seat was defective. Compared to my 10th gen SI and MK8 GTI, these seats do not get very hot or stay hot for very long.

Bit of a disappointment since heated seats are one of the things that sold me on the ITS over the CTR. Still happy to have them though.

^ thanks for reminder about this thread. I had an hour drive the other day and set the passenger side and my side to level 3. I had to turn mine off when I started to cook after 15 mins with the windows open at 36F, but I watched the passenger side and it never dropped to 2 like others are experiencing...

If it's not hot or it's dropping for you, there is likely something wrong with the temp sensor in the seat. Test the other seat and/or take it in. Something is wrong.
