Hi,

The drivers seat bolster in my Octavia VRs is slightly worn and I'd like to get it repaired. I have had one quote from a company that advertises in Autocar magazine for £250 but before I go ahead I was wondering if anyone has had a similar repair done in my area. I live in Tyne and wear.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Where is CCS mate? Tek Seating in my home town of Melton Mowbray get a good rep for repairs. I'm not sure how cheap they are though? If you find out let me know. My VRS has only done 25k and the seat looks well weathered. I am guessing I will need to get it sorted around 50 or 60k.

Having wear at only 25k would seem very quick. Mine has done 30k with no sign of wear on any of the leather bits. There are some creases etc. but no visible wear. Do you wear particularly abrasive clothing or something? Is it still under waranty? If so maybe check with the dealer. I managed to get my gear knob changed due to the silver colour coming off it so maybe able to do something with the seat as it should not wear so early.

The leather isn't worn, its fairly creased though. The stitching is fraid in some areas and the bolster is starting to go fairly flat on the door side. I'm sure Skoda will call it general wear and tear. I just don't like to see the leather looking shining and creased when the passenger side is firm with a matt finish.
