Removing Seats in S3

[JonMallard]

hello

Did try searching but i couldn't find a definitive answer

Im wanting to remove my front seats to give the car a proper clean (3 years of rubbish under them )

Iv read i need to unplug the battery to do this. Is this definitely needed or not?

Also will disconnecting the battery break the radio meaning i ill need a radio code or something to get it working again?

Disconnect battery, disconnect wires. Pop the four bolt covers (per seat), remove rail end caps, remove bolts, resolve seats.

Battery is important as your seats have airbags in them.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will turning the battery off lock up the radio?

No but you might get a few dash warning lights post works. Just take the vehicle around the block and they should clear.

There was heaps of crud under my rear seat when I took it out so you might as well do that too
