Afternoon all,

I'm on the lookout for leather seats (front and rear) for my Octavia. Mainly because the cloth ones are a bloody magnet for my dogs hair 🤦‍♂️ anyone swapped out theirs or know what would fit? Other models etc? Not after buckets/ sports seats in fact the flatter the better. 

 

Cheers!

Thanks, but I'm more after info in anything else that fits ie other skodas, other VAG models etc.

All the more reason to do it then as people who don't look here may well look there. 

Just add the relevant details and you may well be surprised.

Audi A6 B6 front seats will fit with a bit of very basic modification - I put some S-Line ones in mine.

 

• There's an extra metal locating lug on the rails from the Audi seats which needs removing - 30 seconds with a hacksaw
• Electrical connectors don't fit - you'll need to either make some adapters or cut the plugs off and rewire them with the ones from your original seats (I did the latter).
• If you don't currently have electric seats then you'll need to run wiring some wiring. I picked up manual seats with the electric lumbar adjustment, and piggybacked off the cigarette lighte, but if I'd gone for electric seats I would have run it directly from the fuse box. I believe the memory seats require more than just power - an additional control module or something?
• I didn't bother wiring up the heated seat pads, I believe these also require an additional control module - if this is something you want then there are plenty of aftermarket kits on ebay etc.

From my research before fitting these, there isn't really anything else which will fit the rear seats without significant modification.
