Nope

To be honest we have learned to live with it! Occaisionly they work properly so I am thinking it is a loose connection or one of the sensors is on it's way out?

Have you got the same problem with yours??

Ok it has been a while so I thought that I would post an update! First of all I hope you all had a Merry Christmas & will have a Happy New Year! The car went back into Keiths garage & they fitted another seat cover, they also employed a professional car valeting company to give the car a ful...

unbelievable really, glad you see the funny side though :shock: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b359/kirade/VW%20Stuff%20Eastside%20Etc/12112008658.jpg :lol: You have to admit though it is comical so it is hard not to see the funny side. :) I am still confidant that VW UK will get it sorted, but ...

OK my wife has had a call from VW UK They think that the seat cover that they fitted was packaged wrong so that is why the wrong one was fitted! WTF :? Surely the muppet who fitted it could see it was wrong & should have thought 'hang on a minute I dont think I should fit this' Oh well never min...

Exactly it is comical isn't it!

I have received the cheque for the Levi 501's that i got at the weekend though! ;)

Right I have now changed my minds about Keith Garage in Aylesbury! The Highline went in to be sorted Yesterday,get a call last night to say it is all finished :) My wife goes & picks it up & when she gets back I ask her 'what is it like?' She say's 'You better go & have a look' :? I am f...

Love my 2004 passat 5.5 but the heated seat sure gives you a burn. I have the same problem and I could not stop the car quick enough. it is a safety issue.I will follow up with VW. So did you get burned then? :? Let me know how you get on with VW please. VW UK have also told my wife to buy me a new...

Hi, I have a Highline aswell - nice aren't they !! I have owned my 04 54 Highline TDI 130 ps Saloon since June last year. It's interesting to see this on here, as the previous owner of my vehicle had exactly the same problem - even the leather is the same colour as mine ! He described the damage to...

When it went in for the inspection my wife was given a Golf + TDI 100 :( She said it was noisey & very sluggish compared to the Highline :lol: I don't know what she will get next Tuesday though! Previously she was given an 07 Jetta automatic (TDI) when the Highline went in for a service Which wa...

Had the call from VW UK yesterday! It is good news :) They are going to pay for the repairs 100% as a goodwill gesture! :D Just book it in to your local VW dealers. It is now booked in for next Tuesday 11th November as this was the only day they had a courtesy car availiable! :roll: I am well chuffe...

Looks like mine isn't an isolated incident then! :shock: I don't think that there has been any recalls for this in this country but I know that they have had a big problem in America! :roll: I would take it to your main dealers & get them to look at it first ( we wrote to VW UK first & they ...

Yep very nice! Just had a phonecall from the Local VW dealers (Keith garage in Aylesbury) from the Service dept. They have had the car all day carrying out it's technical survey of the damage! He said ' I cant see VW UK messing you about on this they will probably replace all the damaged parts or po...

How bizarre! :shock: :? What's bizarre :? The fact that the heated seat malfunctioned burnt through the seat & my jeans? The fact that even though it is out of warranty VW UK look like they are going to sort it? Or the fact that I am not fussed about my Jeans? :lol: Please elaborate :wink:

Shall be a bit more wary about the ones in the B6 from now on. Lets hope that there isn't a problem on any others as it is scary what could of happened when mine did this! ( I am just glad we had only just left & wasn't on the Motorway!![wife & 2 kids in the car with me] Had another phone c...

Right a bit of an update. My wife wrote to VW UK last week stating exactly what happened & that although we purchased the car from a private seller & the fact that it is over 3 years old so out of warrenty. We were not happy & didn't think that this should have happened & that it was...

Too late for that tip for me! couldn't you have given this advice 5 1/2 years ago

Hope you get the damge sorted though.

seen similar on MKIVs.net with MK4 golfs, I would contact dealer, as its a 2005 year car, and thats not fair wear and tear IMO keep us posted Would it matter if we bought it privately & not from a dealer? Do you think that VW UK would actually do anything about it? :roll: I suppose there is no ...

Whilst driving the Highline today I thought I would turn on the Heated drivers seat as my back was giving me a bit of gyp! Any way it starts heating up lovely & realy makes my back feel better After about 2 minutes I got a sharp pain in my right thigh & then a burning sensation (at this poin...

My Beetle was used as a wedding car in July!
