Electric seat wobble

[attila_tdi]

Hi my front driver electric seat is wobbling back and forth and seems to be getting more noticeable.

Bit worried for MOT plus its bugging me as car is perfect elsewhere. Its a 2008 b8.

Is there any fix for this or possible causes?

Cheers

Wobbling all the time or only in start up?

1.vcds
2.check connectors
3.readapt the seat

Could be bad switches as well.
Hopefully its not module or motor first sign of end of life!

i think its pretty much all the time but I notice it more when I get in. Weirdly I notice it even more if I get into the car when its been very hot outside.

Its more of a mechanical wobble like the seat itself is loose. The actual controls work fine.

I have vcds so will try that. Hoping its not expensive!

Ok, gotcha...its mechanical, not like motor is going grazy. In that case Ignore my first post is good idea also

Loose or bended rails etc...google will give you huge amount of ideas, dont search only audi!

Move your seat max up and check with flashlight from back maybe you see some slightly bended part or something what seems a bit off with rail!

New frame should be this:

8K0 881 184 A or 8K0-881-183-A, not sure which should be for RHD, not the cheapest part 300-400!
