Front seat tilt function?

Featured Replies

Do any of the Octavia models have seats where you can adjust the the seat base for tilt?

Some Fords have this and it was easy to find a comfortable position for my bad back.

Or is there a way to put some sort of spacer under the front of the seat mount??

I would have thought a spacer of some sort would not be beyond the capabilities of a good local Engineering Workshop.

yeah but looking underneath the seat i cant see how I can do it.

Plus theres the seat height mechanism to bear in mind...

Thing is it's not like it bolts to the floor

The only way I could think of doing it would be to make up a plate for the front two 13mm bolts. A plays with two holes and two studs if you like so it would replicate the mounting but higher up.

I miss this feature from the older passat that I used to have, the front and back of the seat were independently adjustable so you could get perfect positioning of the seat base. Not sure how possible it would be to retrofit this kind of B4 seat base to the A4 chassis though?

just wondering - have any skodas had this feature?

The feature can be found in Seat Toledo/Leon full and 1/2 Leather Recaro's:

The horizontal control lifts and seat base up and down, rocks it backs and forwards, and moves the seat forwards and backwards B)

£250 from ebay :happy:
