Hi,
I recently got a Superb Estate 280 L+K. Love it in every way except one. I find the seat very uncomfortable. It was fine on the initial first few drives, but the longer I've spent in it, the more discomfort I get in my lower back. In fact, my experience is much the same as in this thread:
I always feel there is something uncomfortably pressing into my lower back, despite how much I've altered the seat position / played with lumbar support etc. And because I drive the car every day, the mild ache it's starting to create in my back never gets a chance to recover.
I'm even thinking of selling the car and taking a pretty big financial hit after having it for such a little time! So I'm looking at options:
1. Buy a 'standard' superb III seat and hope it doesn't have the same lumbar prominence if it doesn't have a lumbar adjustment (and even if it did, maybe as the spare seat I could it open, remove some padding etc from this area and keep my original seat to go back in when selling down the line)
2. Swapping for a sportline 'bucket' seat - I have seen a few for sale on ebay
Is the above possible? I imagine swapping the seat will be easy enough but what about electronics? Will the car have errors if I plug in a seat that doesn't have things the previous seat had (such as ventilation and massage) - will there be continuous error messages? Or will the car accept the other skoda seat gladly and I'll only have certain buttons not working?
Thanks
