Hi,

 

My drivers seat has randomly started moving all the way forward and for no apparent reason when the car is parked and locked. For some reason this can happen as soon as I lock the car, other occasions it happens sometime during the night, and sometimes will stay there. There is no conclusive reason why it will suddenly work again. Sometimes jiggling wire under the seat help, sometimes not driving for 24 hours is enough for it to reset so I can use the seat controls again. It sets itself In the full forward and up position where I can't even get in. Last time it was working I couldn't get it to do the seat manoeuvres to set the memory after reading about it on this forum.

 

Can anyone recommend somewhere around Govan or surrounding area in Glasgow to get this checked? Should I buy a new module or leave it in case it is a simple reset?

 

Need to get this looked at before next Saturday, 25th.

 

Cheers!
 

We had similar issues on our previous S3, there is a simple reset of the seat memory module using VCDS that sorted it.

If you don't have it then it's worth getting, if not ask about on forum for someone local to you that would be willing to do it for beer tokens 😉 it, 

You may have also gotten water in the buttons causing corrosion and phantom presses

So giving a squirt of contact cleaner might sort it then?

Id probably remove it and take it apart to see what state it's in before applying any cleaner.
