I have just purchased on ebay a nice set of gt tdi 150 seats of a 3 door model on a 53 plate.My car is a 4 door model with standard "airport" upholstery seats.My question is will the airbag connections be the same and will there be any issues with the 4 door runners fitting the 3 door seats into these runners,by the way my car is an 03 model
The runners are the same, but your connectors may be different. Also some front seats you screw two nuts onto them, and some you screw two bolts into them. If the connectors are different you can cut them off your old seats and use them on your new ones. Make sure you disconnect your battery before you start, or you will get the airbag light on.
Thanks for the replies so far v comforting as i am driving 170 miles next sunday to get them but well worth £100 and they are mint condition as the owner has had them out for 2 years because he track day races it
It would be best for you to take your rears out before you set off, then you have more room to fit the fronts in on the journy home as you can put your new rears straght in.

4. Tape them up to stop them snagging under the seat.
Job done.
