I bought some touran bases and problem solved, the fixing holes match perfectly onto the caddy floor and on the top for the A6 seats, no drilling needed. The touran bases measure 86mm high at the front compared to 42mm for the caddy, so the height issue is sorted as well. So Touran bases saves a lot of hassle, I just need to sort the wiring now.
Good information to know, thanks for that

Well using the Touran bases made this job a since.
My last caddy I drilled the existing bases which was a bit fiddly and low.

Touran bases bolted straight in. Had to drill two holes as the Audi A4 S-Libe seats had two pins on each seat (The caddy has one pin)

Took me about 30 minutes.

The seats fit perfectly and just the right height. The extra storage comes in handy to.

Thanks all - Just need to wire in my Air Scarf/lumbar and heated seats now :D
