The story continues, both front heated seats stopped working pointing towards a problem with the control module, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heated-Seat-Control-Module-For-VW-Pasast-B6-Jetta-MK5-MK6-Golf-MK5-EOS-Tiguan-CC-/231516539662

I've found several references online saying its fitted under the passenger seat but I can't find it on my 2010, does anybody know where it is? I have a new one and want to swap it over to see if the seats will work. 

It's fitted to the driver's seat: on LHD models this will be the left hand seat which is where you may be seeing references leading you to the passenger seat (the left hand seat on RHD cars). It's near the switches under the plastic trim.

Thanks, I'm off to have another look, did have a quick look earlier but couldn't  see it.  

Had a good look around under the seat including under the trim and I can't find it,  Its on the parts list for my car only to find it!!  Can somebody have a look and see if its on their car?

Update, the heated seat control module is on the left hand (passenger to us) side but NOT attached the seat base , its under the carpet  :clap: and difficult to access. The saga continues!
