My Audi doesn't have rear foldy seats!!

[Desdesigner]

Hi everyone,

The problem is:

As I was cleaning my new Audi for the first time the other day, I got to the rear of the car with the old Dyson and noticed that there was no button etc to allow the rear seats to fold down.

I was a bit shocked to say the least so I consulted my manual and it shows, with pickas, that there should be a lever and keyhole on the top of the seats shoulders.

No such thing in my car. Just very puzzled is all. :confused:

Its a 2002 1.8T SE S-Line. Any help would be much appreciated!

Many thanks!

Same here, deep sports seats and buffalino leather. How come this is the case with the sports seat option thingy? *very confuzzled*

Many thanks.

I have a Sport model with cloth sport seats... no split rear.. (it is a 3/4 split on the A4)

It is an optinal extra of about £150.. its a bit of a rip off hence why people dont bother.... its no good when you go to B&Q for a plank of wood!!..

They also did a ski pack.. which as a door when you drop the centre arm rest down to allow ski's from the boot into the cabin..

There is one plus point!!!!!!!!! you know your boot is secure.. no one can smash a rear window and drop the seats to access the boot... it means they have to get pass the eletric boot release! (but a down side is, if some scum bag does attempt to get in.. you get a damaged lock instad of a smashed window....

Yep, I have the leather sport seats and mine do split fold. I don't have the 'ski hole'

Options eh....

Ah well, boots big enough I spose. Still a shame though. Just the luck of the draw buying 2nd hand!:D

With regard to carrying timber, I could always get a couple of shed door hinges and creat a split rear windscreen!.....perhaps not actually, that would look silly.:p

dont cary timber in your audi, its far to good for that, get an escort van if you want to carry timber, or at least borrow somone elses car, lol

Spose I could borrow my dads golf Mk3 CL TDI (my first car), 2 belts and a coolent hose and it's still going strong with 165k on the clock! :D

Hi :) Is there any way to retrofit rear folding seats?

Thanks,

Good point, is there any way or do the seats need to be changed completely?

Many thanks
