My drivers seat is sagging noticeably in the base under the left buttock area. Is this to be expected with Valcona leather? The car has only 1000 miles.

Nothing should be sagging after 10000 miles let alone 1000.

IIRC, I have Valcona on my C6. 6 years and 102k, no sagging. And I'm no beanpole.

Def get it sorted.

Chucky, did you speak to the dealer about this? What was response? My SE spec driver seat is showing the same after only 2000 miles - and before anyone starts I only weigh 11.5 st, honest ;)

Are you talking about an SLine sports seat? I started another thread on here a few weeks ago. I'd noticed what I thought was excessive wear on nearly new A6 between 3-6k miles and less than six months old. Mainly to the seat side bolsters though.

Have never noticed anything but my father has. He driven my car the first day I bought it and mentioned that he feels like he sitting with one butt higher than the other. My father also says the front passenger is also sagging he says it's like the seat is in to sections. We go out together around every fortnight or so he now doesn't want to drive it and prefers to sit in the back, I've done 14k and never noticed anything.

There is a 12 Plate S-Line that parks up not too far from my office. I went and had a good look at the drivers seat today and it looked pretty much fine, a little creasing in the leather but that was about it. Can't say how many miles it has done but if I can spot the owner I will ask if they have any problems with the seat. The A6 has much more give in the seat cushions compared to my previous Jag XF which had the 'S' spec sports seats, but they were too hard and by the end of a trip from Yorkshire to Oxfordshire both the House Dragon and myself were more than ready to get out.
