Don't use the seat heaters till you get this resolved. Mine was only at 3 when it burned through.

I know how you feel, but watch for the burn hole before too long.

Default BTW, this is a short and you need a new heating element. Seems very common.
We need a recall on:

Control arms
side airbags in seat
seat heaters
ABS

the list keeps growing.

Default Someone smart? You need to replace the heating element, plain and simple.
This is a very common problem and I agree Audi should be responsible, but they aren't going to replace it out of warranty.
