Under the front passenger seat of my 2.0 TDI Ambience there's a little storage box with a flip-down front that's handy for keeping the First Aid box in. Under the driver seat there's just an empty(ish) space

Does anyone know whether I can buy a second box to go under the driver seat, and if so whether it's a reasonable DIY job or involves lifting and shifting the entire seat?

Cheers.

I could be wrong but isnt the access to the ecu under the drivers seat?

The storage box for the right hand side of a LHD car is 1Z0 881 578 E 47H in Oynx or 1Z0 881 578 E 4K1 in Ivory and costs around £12 Plus VAT.

That seems to include all of the fixings.

I only noticed I had one under the passenger seat when I was trying to find a way to run the GPS Cable for the MFD2.

The ECU connection on my car seems to be a purple connection just under the steering wheel opposite the bonnet release.

Thats the diagnostic port where you would connect VAG-COM

Those under seat bins would be excellent if they were A4 but theres not enough space for that :thumbdwn:

Is that A4 as in Audi, or as in paper size?

so would the lhd version fit in the rhd seat or not has anyone done this mod cause you can never have too much storage . ( as said on changing rooms )

Not seen one myself.

Got one on order now, so once it comes I'll post some picture...

I did this mod today. perfect fit, small job.(Unless you have really big hands and fingers like me) I did NOT remove the seat, i just jacked it all the way up.

Ilive in Norway and have a LHD car.

Box under left seat: 1Z0 881 577 E 47H in Oynx and 1Z0 881 577 E 4K1 in Ivory

Box under right seat: 1Z0 881 578 E 47H in Oynx and 1Z0 881 578 E 4K1 in Ivory

The box came without fasteningscrews, but I only used the two screws from the piece I removed and then I used two screws I had lying around + two clips like you use to mount loudspeakers with.

My car: 2007 Octavia II Elegance 4X4 1,9 TDI Anthracit grey

Super idea these under-seat storage boxes, shame they don't do them for Mk 1 Octavia coz if they did I'd fit a pair to mine. They don't do them to fit Mk 1 's do they?

I thought late (arround 2004) mk1 L&K had them.

Does anybody know if I can fit them on electrical seats. I have no box under any of front seats.
