Got in the car, had a fidget around in the drivers seat to get comfortable and there was a loud clunk from the backrest of the seat.

The lumbar support is now U/S. The adjustment lever still moves freely but seemingly is no longer attached to anything!

 I called the local stealers and it’s booked in on Friday for them to take a look.

Whilst they have it they will also look and see if they can find out what the very annoying intermittent vibration/ buzzing is that comes from the steering column cover. annoys the life out of me when it does it 

One of my friends had the same thing happen on his Mk2 vRS diesel. The push-it-and-see action is worse than useless, in my experience, when the VW Group have been selling cars with a decent rotary wheel adjustment since at least the Mk4 Golf/Bora (still got one, 17 years old and lumbar support still stays where you set it).

is this manual or electric lumbar?
