Mk5Golf 1.9TDI - On cornering and accelerating my drivers seat creaks! really anoying! Anyone any ideas on how to stop this? I fixed the creaky console between the seats by jamming a box of 9v batteries between the seat and the console!!
Any help much appreciatede,

My Passat sort of does it but not very often. I find that certain positions i.e the seat on the rail, make it worse. I just move the seat a notch back/forward and all is well.

I guess you do have to be comfortable mind. Do a search on creaking seats on here I am sure there are some [better] remedies.

My dash seems to have just started creaking so off I go looking....

Do you have the 3 or 5 door Golf?

The reason I asked is that I have the 3 door with the tilt and slide front seats. One someone had got in or out of the back, my drivers seat used to creak if I didn't slide the seat back properly and make sure that the seat clicked in properly when I tilted it back. With you having the 5 door this wont apply to you. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
