Solution for faulty heated seat

Post by CMacD7 »

Hi, the driver's side heated seat on my 6C Polo GTI has stopped working.
It comes in for 3-4 minutes and then goes off completely. Haven spoken to garages this is usually due to a faulty heating element.

Wondering where I could source one as internet isn't bringing up much?

Thanks

Measuring the elements resistance with a multimeter might be worth while to diagnose which part is faulty.
Try measuring against eachother L/R see if the values are around the same.

6R0963555F - Bottom heating element
6R0963557D - Backrest heating element

As for source like Iichel said, VW parts department or try any second hand place.
