What seats are best?

Post by Ben_m18 »

Hi all,

Thinking of upgrading the awful standard caddy seats. Thinking Touran or Passat.

Not looking to spend a lot and want comfy, easy fit seats.

WHYG or would you suggest?

Cheers

Ben

Managed to get some touran seats and centre console with hand brake sorted for £200. Fitting them Friday :) ! Hopefully it's not to hard.

On the touran centre console mod does this require taking out the plastic around the gear stick and esp button? Or does a touran centre clip into the caddy original part?

There is a good 'how to' in the technical section! I did mine before I had access to there! It would have been so much easier if I had of had the guide while doing it!

Also does anyone know if the earlier touran 2004 seat bases and centre console fit in a 2011 caddy?

I've posted this pic elsewhere but I've fitted Audi A1 seats. Picked up front and rear seats on eBay for £200 so worked out very cheap especially as I've sold the originals and the rear Audi ones.
Straight swap too so about a 15 minute job. Much more comfort and they tilt so can access the storage underneath easier.

I am Running Scirocco R seats on touran bases. They where a straight fit and are alot better than the stock seats. I have yet to innstall the center console/armrest. But i have all the parts now.
