Get new seats, take old seats out, put new seats in

I did a guide here for retrofitting which includes instructions for the removal / fitting of the seats provided by @vRSAnt :

a fantastic write up!

Your real problem is sourcing the new seats of course.

I wouldn't expect that many people paid for that upgrade, even fewer will have totally the vehicle and these days the places know what they have got and charge accordingly.

Gone are the days when you used to be able to wander around the scrap yard yourself, remove the parts and get costed up at the end

I still have my old vRS half leather seats if anyone is interested then pm me. I haven't got round to Gumtree / eBay yet, I've been busy sorting out other bits for the car - folding mirrors with puddlelights are next

Got some leather/suede/alacantra VRS seats for my facelift 2018 VRS  , how do i go about installing the front seats ?

Physically this is obvious i'm worried about disconnecting the negative battery terminal and losing my settings and not being able to drive car

due to the stupid start stop that i always turn off , the thing is top dangerous to leave on pulling away on a junction is a no go with this thing whoever designed it wants shooting RANT OVER.

Anyway i just want advice on disconnecting battery will car still drive when re connected ? wont swap them over with it connected as that is even more problematic.

Any help advice apreciated i dont have the software or connection to use any programming stuff vds or whatever i have no clue with any of that.

 

Also will have a mint set of cloth seats from my car done 40k miles rear seats only used handfull of times as with pasengers seat and drivers seat i would say is 9.5/10 just needs a clean

happy to sell these on with a set of door cards from a feacelift mk3 vrs 5 dr hatch looking for £250 collected from Scarborough

Just to add for anyone in the future if you upgrade or replace the seats as long as the wiring loom is the same and no alterations are needed,

disconnect your battery negative wait 15 mins, change front seats re connect battery , it will throw up about 6 errors tyre pressure setting not available start stop deactivated some brake warning and EBS

and speed restriction warning i think. Take if for a short drive say 20 miles with foot down stop restart all errors gone just rest your tyre pressure and what speed you want a warning at etc .
