I just got my car back after my disappointing 7500 mile service. (Another story). I had asked if the power drivers seat could be "tightened", as there is a slight amount of fore/aft motion. If I had to estimate, I would guess it's about 1/4 inch and it rarely bothers me.<p>The service man has ordered a new lower seat frame, but I wonder if it will do any good. Perhaps a bit of play is necessary, and I'm not so keen on the mechanics messing with the seat. I would rather hold off for a couple of years and get the new lower seat frame a little closer to the end of the warranty period. I doubt that the replacement will help fix this problem.<p>Anyone out there been down this road yet?<p>Thanks,<br>Eric

I had a slight wiggle in my non-power sport seat while driving through corners. The dealer tech replaced a seat bushing that had cracked slightly. That cured it in my case.<p>Sean<br>97 1.8Tqm<ul><li><a href="http://www.ns.net/~seang">Sean's A4 Page</a></li></ul>

Sport seats in 30V Avant are fine; keep bugging the dealer (nt - or is it NT?)

Hey Eric,<p>My passenger front sport seat (non-power) in my 1.8t had a fore-aft motion when accelerating and braking with a passenger in the seat. This movement was accompanied by a "click" everytime the seat moved. I had thought it was a seat rail problem, but when my dealer had a look, it turned out to be the seat frame. They ordered in a new frame and sent it to be installed at an upholstery shop. Problem solved.<p>There is a little bit of play in the seat rail. However, when you sit in the seat, it should not move or "click".<p>Hope this helps.<p><br>James Wu<br>A4 Club of Vancouver<br>1998 Black/Onyx 1.8tqa<ul><li><a href="http://vancouver.a4.org">A4 Club of Vancouver</a></li></ul>
