Anyone experienced this ...... the GS has manual adjust seats, I like to run with the seat a max height (and no I'm not a short *rse) I just like a high driving position. I've noticed that the seat has a tendency to drop, seems inconsistent, sometimes I can go a couple of hundred miles without any drop other times I can loose half the height travel in a hundred miles. Its no big deal, I've got into the habit of pumping the seat up each time I get in, but I guess it means that something is loose somewhere.

Avtur,

it definately does not sound like the belt on your trousers is loose, perhaps a week or two on the Slimfast plan might help??

Hi Avtur,

Got the same problem with my seat. I guess I'll have to go on a diet!

Disco3 manual seats have this problem too, electric seats don't D4 HSE Lux for me
FL2 HSE Zermatt & Alpacca for the wife now gone
Skoda Yeti L&K for the wife.

Same problem here

Has anyone solved this problem? 2007 TD4 S A Nazca sand

TSB LA501-021 Manual seat adjustment 15th March 2006

"Vehicles with manually adjustable seats Vin range: 5A300167 Onwards


Markets: All except NAS and Japan

Summary:
A customer may report a concern that over long journeys, the seat requires re-adjustment to maintain the desired height, or that when left unattended for long periods the seat height adjustment requires lowering.

Cause: A tolerance issue within the height adjustment mechanism can lead to height adjustment slippage.
Action: Should a customer express concern regarding the above, refer to the Service Procedure detailed in this bulletin.

NOTE: The height adjustment lever is close to the edge of the seat cushion and is prone to accidental operation during driver ingress and egress. A customer may perceive that the seat is self-lowering when this is not the case. The seat cannot lower itself when unattended due to the presence of two assistor springs under the seat base. In order to avoid unnecessary component replacement, ensure that the driver is not accidently operating the adjustment lever. This can be established by placing a solid object between the lever and the seat trim to immobilize it during ingress/egress to confirm if the symptoms persist."

At my dealer workshop they succeded solving the problem simply bending down the lever so that it doesn't interfere with accidental operations.

Hi, I also have the same problem with the seat dropping whilst driving, pumping the leaver approx every 20 miles to keep the seat up, I am sure I am not sitting on the leaver, I asked at my local dealer if they had any reports of this problem to be told they hadn't, sounds like these manual seats have a fault, I will be going back to my dealer armed with this info and will keep you informed.

Hi Adrian,

I personally experimented putting something between the lever and the seat trim and since then my seat remain in the right position.
