i am sure this must be a fairly common problem in VAG cars, but I've done a few searches and can't seem to find what i am looking for.

basically the drivers seat in my Audi rocks backwards and forwards under acceleration and deceleration. Not massively, but it's noticeable and quite off putting.

can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to fix this?

many thanks

Not sure, but I have a passenger seat that has an irritating rattle (slight rocking). I have been warned that when dismantling (unplug airbag connection under the seat) the car should not be started or the airbag light will need to be cleared with VAG.com.

To remove (B5 model), remove the metal pin at the front, and then undo the stops at the rear (plastic trim panels can be unscrewed to reveal). Apparently the seat can then be pushed back and out.

I'm going to try this on a decent day to investigate, as it's pointless trying to evaluate what's happening in the car.

Let me know if you do get a fix.

Cheers:D
