Mk4 Golf seats into Octavia Mk1 ?

[Octavianewboy]

Hi all,

I'm going to replace my Octavia interior and have read on this very board that Golf Mk4 front seats fit with no problems.

Has anyone tried the rear seats? Just thought I would ask before shelling out for a lovely set form a TDi.

My Octavia is an older one with no airbags in the seats, just driver and passenger front ones.

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

MK 4 seats fit mate but the rear ones dont cover all the plastic

I have R32 ones and the fronts are ace but the back is just not right.

even tho they fit.

Wow that was fast!!

Looks good, thank you for the piccie. I have an old W reg ex taxi and the drivers seat is quite worn, usual place.. but this chap is selling a lovely dark grey velour type seats and I can't resist!!

The Wife has always found the Ocy front seats really uncomfortable, not me tho, well padded posterior ;o)

Cheers big chap,

Mark.

The fit does seem to be a little better with an octavia estate

I have a full set of Elegance seats for sale as I replaced the ones in my octy 4x4 with Golf GTTDI ones (after 2001 they come with lumbar adjustment as well). what trim level is your ex taxi?

Bora, golf, and cupra and audi a3 seats will work in your car mate.

[RobClubley]

Was assuming bad photography and they're that nice Audi red colour as the came out of an A3.

Anyway they're going to go for more than I want to pay

[Octavianewboy]

I'll second that, bit pink for me too

Thanks to all for the photo's and advice, I ended up with the dark grey seats from the MK4 Golf and I am very, very happy with the results.

Just the carpet to sort out now, anyone know if you get them in darker colours as mine is light grey stays clean for about 5 seconds with two kids

I might even post a piccie or two if I can figure out how :p

Cheers,

Mark.

I know that this is an old thread but I'm hoping someone still looks at it occasionally.

I'm in the process of fitting a Golf interior into my mk1 vRS ans wondered if anyone knows about the drivers seat wiring.

I'd prefer not to cut the plugs off the wires, does anyone have any suggestions on how else I can get the seat wired up and stop the seatbelt light coming on?

I have Golf MK4 recaro front seats in my Octy VRS. Just left unplugged and no seatbelt light comes on.

Thanks group1rs. I discovered mine was the same when I fitted the driver's seat late yesterday - proof that I should check that the problem exists before asking how to fix it!!! 

 

Hey-ho... 

 

Other than that all went smoothly and I now have a nice, comfy cuddly drive.
