Hi all

 

A scan of the forums suggests that it is possible to retrofit isofix to the passenger seat of a mark 2 Octavia. 
 

Part number seems to be 1K0881545. 
 

Anyone got experience of doing this? I will soon need a third isofix point and this would be a lot cheaper than a new car!

Hi all

 

Just to let you know I did this. Fairly simple job but you need to take the back of the seat off so it’s a simple job but allow two to three hours.

Didn't even think about this but with twins, don't think it'd be fair 😄

In case anyone wants to know how to do this. 
 

You need 2 x N10622701 and 1 x 1K0881545. 

 

I used this as a guide for removing the seat.

 

My seat is slightly different but it’s a case of removing the seat ensuring the battery is disconnected before unplugging the airbag cable. 
 

Once the seat was off you have to take the back off the seat. This is simply done by taking two bolts (screws?) off each side. But to get access to those you need to remove the plastic trim on each side of the seat base. Just take your time and don’t use excessive force and it all comes apart. 
 

There is a cable linking the back of the seat and the base so be careful with that. It might be possible to unthread it so you can work on the seat frame unencumbered but I didn’t bother. 
 

Finally you need to unclip the back of the seat cover and put the bracket in. It is held by two screws and it’s really obvious how it goes together. 
 

You need to create two holes in the seam of the seat cover to fit the isofix loops through. I just used a Stanley knife to pick away the stitching and stitched at each end of the holes to stop them unravelling. 
 

I had initially intended to take this to a trimmer but couldn’t find one that would answer their phone!
