Had my 63 Plate FL2 from new and as I remember in the early days.. the heated seats used to get quite hot... But now they are just about warm... There are two settings for the seats... one light or two lights... can't say there is much differance now so has a fuse gone on the max heat setting?.. can't find anything?
Anyone had the same or got any sugestions?.. Cheers

Only the one fuse per seat so if its working, its working. The module is under the seats at the front, you could check the thermistor connections or all connections come to that.

OK.. will check... but both seat appear to be the same?.. unless they just de-grade with age???.. but TBH they have not been used much....

My fine on a MY13 gets hot on the first setting, but just takes a little longer to warm up compare to the old one, which I put down to having leather seats. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

I had a 64 plate one when mine went in for some warrenty work... it was a top spec so soft leather seats where mine are the harder type... but they were that hot you had to turn them off.. didn't think much of it untill I got mine back and thought they were so poor now??....

Never gone straight to the 'one' setting on mine, always full power so can't comment really. Certainly warms up my leather fine and going back to 'one' keeps it comfortable, not noticed any degradation in efficiency either.
Takes about 3 minutes for the heat to start coming through on a cold morning.

There is a calibration for the Heated Seats within SDD under Service Functions.
There is also an adjustment for heat temperature.
I suggest you take it to the dealer and ask them to carry out the "Heated Seats Service Function" explaining your observations.
They will be able to advise you if the heated seat system is operating outside of the factory settings. MY15

ok.. thanks for that... something else thats ECU controlled!!... I will do...
or is there a work around where you can adjust them yourself

Bet you cant adjust them yourself, health and safety, some people would have them turned right up and then be claiming for a burnt bottom

just thought there may be a work around.. like there is with the electronic hand brake when you need new pads but don't want it to cost you £250

My HSE seats get warm & toasty on "2" and keep the chill off on "1" as did my previous SE. The 2016 Evoque loaner I had last week was noticeably cooler on the hottest setting. (They have 3 selectable settings )

Old thread resurrection alert ..... sorry!

Did this get resolved?

My 2014 XS has a similar problem in that the heated seats don't work on cold mornings, but then get toasty a bit later in the day. Weird!

Any ideas folks?

MY 07 SE seats get hot and toasty, fairly quick ... Wife can't figure out yet why her bums hot in the mornings  REME .. Rough Engineering Made Easy

Long time since I met a woman with a warm bum in a morning but I then have just retuned from camping at 5,000 metres in the Himalayas'.

My seats seem to warm up OK form cold, maybe its to do with how well the battery is charged.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
