A4 (2003cab) elec seat prob

[Christoffer]

Hi,

My brother thought it was a great idea to put the rear facing half of the seat all the way down in the car. Now the bottom of the seat (electrical) won't move back up again.

It will make a 'click' sound from the motor but the 'click' cuts out immedieately and only the front half of the seat will move up and down ( it's the back part of the seat itself that wont move up from the position.)

I don't think the electric motor is Kaput - since I can hear it start to click and cut out.

Any ideas as to a way to make it move again? I'm sure that if I take the car to AUDI, they'll rip the seat out and claim all the electric motors will need changing - which I don't want.


Thanks.

Sounds like one of the drive gears has run off the end of its range, may well just be a case of putting it back together again.

Thanks, I'll try to wiggle the seat and see if that puts the gears back again.
