Audi Allroad C6 3.0 TDI Tiptronic, sport seats?

[gianton]

Hello!

Last week I bought an Allroad C6 3.0 TDI Tiptronic with 15.000 kms on the clock. The car is by far the best I ever owned (previous cars Merc E230 '89 and BMW 528i '97), except the seats :(. The seats are the basic ones with alcantara and cloth with only 3 regulations available. Other than that after a trip of only 3 hours me and my wife had aches in the back and hips.

I have read in other forums that the sport seats are far better, so the question is whether I can have them retrofitted and if yes where can I find them on the net to buy them online. Second hand ones are ok.

I suspect if you make enquiries about fitting sports seats you'll find they're very expensive.
I have investigated retro fits on Golfs and my A6 and mostly they seem to be hideously expensive if OEM. Unless you can find some from a crashed one but as it's so new this is very unlikely.
Sounds like you've a really nice motor there!

Thanks for the reply.

I guess I have to search for a non OEM set i.e. RECARO etc.
