Really awesome diagram for Recaros in MK4's here

Trouble is these would not be coded into ECU....hence could not throw fault codes from what I can tell about this mk4 installation wiring ( might not be correct ).

 

You are right, on Fabia it does have control units. Probably safer then the Recaro mk4s TBH.

Recaro fitment on Skoda ain't worth the hassle me thinks ! I've 2 choices, 1) risk a non standard installation I don't fancy too much (but probably easist to get working), or

2) hope for a full broken car with standard heated seats and literally all the gubbins for a sound price.

 

Hope you get yours fully cracked anyway, seems like you are almost there.

 

I'm amazed there isn't just a standard kit, or interchangeable with polo 9n or something? Why the need to have to deal with some problematic 3rd parties.

 

Also came across this site which seems quite handy as they sell looms PLUS have instructions for VWs and mk4's at decent prices.

Plus the mk4 wiring is individually pinned so I guess you could port across to the Fabia with less difficulty than if it was into a block. But I'd be thinking the actual Golf Switches might make more sense as that is what everything else is designed for ( they apparently are rheostats).

 

I'd imagine the Fabia switches are quite different

Seems like youve been doing your research, i actually done very little knowing its a fairly simple design. 

I dont see why you cant get everything from a Fabia wired into the recaros. Do you have a picture from the underside or the connections? 

all you would need to do is plug the connections from the heating elemetns into the fabia control modul under the seat and away you go.

By the way if you google 6Q1971566A it mentions Skoda. (also common to 9N)

 

Any similarity with the Fabia loom ? Although by looks might only be partial loom for cars already pre-wired for heated seats perhaps. I don't know its just so confusing and so little info for fabias.

 

Doesn't look familiar I'm afraid no!

This is very very useful, I have everything else wired in except a switched live - I'll have to get it finished off then!

Yeah, it's not a bad job really, just abit fiddly and time consuming removing trim etc

Hi there great read just got some seats and switchs and door cars... good by lime green how can I bench tested in under stand the wireing.... is the bcm a + or - out put and is it a 12v feed thanks

I'm fitting my loom now and find this guide very helpful, to an extent... as the images aren't showing in the post.

does anyone know why - where i could get them?

The images were probably hosted by Photobucket, who, as of 30th June 2017, decided that they want paying to host images instead of it being a free service. This caused a lot of anger across the internet as countless valuable images were lost. Personally I don't know if there is a way to get the images back but others may know better than me.

The issue is that the image URLs should be postimg.cc. I wrote a quick script to scrape from correct URL and attach them. @Xenicus hopes it helps you out.

Oh wow!

 

@[Cas] thank you so much for using your script to extract the photos. It’s exactly what I needed. I’ll be sure to post back and let everyone know how I got on. Thanks again, Ade
