Hi all 

 

just bought an Octy - 2016 on a 66 plate.

 

In saw a nice looking set of VRs seats so I thought I’d swap them over. However the plugs in the drivers seat are different.

 

My car drivers seat has the yellow block plug and a smaller black one, yellow and brown wire

 

the new drivers seat has the same yellow

plug but a much larger block plug and a different black plug. Its not Got electric controls but may be heated.

 

before i start dismantling has anyone got around this before?

 

Is it just swap the seat looms over?

 

thanks :)

 

 

 

You need the wiring diagrams for the two different spec seats. But failing that colour wire maybe enough to depin and repin on new seat. If big black plug is heat only, ignore that for now. Is it thicker gauge wire? 

Thanks.

 

we also come to the conclusion that if we trace the wires from the relevant bits on the old seat and replicate on the new one it’d work. And it does. No airbag light but I do have a seat belt warning. I think we may have forgotten to plug in the rear seatbemt plug on the middle seat…..

 

we’d both had enough by then! The towbar wiring wore us out!!
