2019 (actually 24th December 2019, almost 2020) 2 litre 190PS DSG 4X4 Edition model.

This is our second Karoq with Varioflex and we had a Yeti with it too.

We collected the car 4th June and on 26th June the mechatronix went u/s and we've had a loan Kodiaq up until yesterday.

We got the Karoq back yesterday

Messing about with it just now and the offside seat won't release and tip up. Both the nearside and centre ones release OK.

Any thoughts?

I take it from your comment that the middle one is place but any (remote) chance the stuck seat is not in the right position latterly.

Not even sure if that is possible with the centre seat fitted but maybe worth pulling/pushing it to the outside of the car to ensure in the right location.

Or maybe pull/push the seat back front/back

Apart from that I got nuffing

Yeah I tried it with the central seat in place and swivelled up. I also moved the recalcitrant seat back and forth but no release in any position.

I'll have to look at the release mechanism on the nearside to see how it works as the offside must be the same.

Problem solved, the seat just wasn't back far enough. It flipped up fine once I put it right to the back.

I must remember that for mine....
