Thank you meat manifesto! We have manifested the removal of mk4 golf seats in less than the time required to cook one booths oven meal! Kind regards, Jake (proud meat manifesto subscriber)
@@meatmanifesto Better idea if you did. My Mrs is jealous. She got a new car but no heated seat as I have in my old car lol. As you know a lot of people now are just looking for new cars. Not me 😂😂😂
im going from 2001 jetta GLX, electronic leather/heated front seats (I live in south Florida so no need for heated seats and the leather is really bad) switching to the mk4 GTI Recaro cloth front seats. Will they be compatible, minus a few electrical connections?
Any advise plz, just want to swap my seats front and back from my golf mk4 5door 2003. to be replaced with seats from vw boro 5 door around same year, will i have any issues with this swap? Neither are heated. is it completely necessary to disconnect the battery to do this>? many thanks
Should be a straight swap over as shown in the video, you don't have to disconnect the battery but it's HIGHLY recommended when working with airbags. When they pop you'll have a bad day 💯
Is it possible to run the car without the seats attached? I need to move it about 50 meters down into a garage and I would like to have brakes to do so..
I kinda wish I did I remember the switches loom was wrapped around other wires and disappeared into the dash, maybe worth taking the dash out but good luck.
Yeah heard the loom is all over the place but I'm hoping that as this is a doner car I can just smash my way through. If not I have found an aftermarket loom for £50. Thanks for the tips
Great video m8, I have a question tho; so I have a 01 golf mk4 tdi with pretty much all the specs the car could get and im looking to replace the cloth heated seats to leather ones from a jetta/bora (not the same year but around 01-03) which also has pretty much all specs (most importantly the leather seats are also heated). So basically I just want to know will the swap be plug and play easy or complicated. If you could share some info on that I would greatly appreciate it! Again great video m8.
@@meatmanifesto Okay so I have question if you know the answer. Do all the MK4 front seats just plug and play? For the heated seats. I have an 02 Golf and looking to connect two leather front seats from a Jetta. I believe it's an 01-03.
@@meatmanifesto 😂🤣 Just thought I'd mention ,even though I'm not a VW nut ,I watch these videos & 👍 AND I don't skip the ads. Every little helps , I hope .
Would be able to see what your doing for the back seat if the camera wasn't sideways and bouncing all over the damn car. But thanks for the attempt at showing it

Now we're cooking 🤣🔥🍖 glad the video helped you remove the seats on your schweet MK4 golf
The color looks cool I’m the black interior.. makes it look stylish
3:34 what did you say you found on the floor? I have 2 spots of crushed white powder in the same spot, not sure what it is.
It was a paracetamol tablet. Hmm not sure what was in yours🤔
same
Pure gold . Thx
Great video thanks.
Do you know if the seats from the MK4 estate will fit in the MK4 hatchback?
The rear bases won't you need to swap over the frame from underneath
Thanks for this video, is possible put heated leathers to without heated model, and put those switches from old one to new one?thanks
No you need the wiring loom, it goes from the seat to the buttons to the fuse box.
Great job 👍
Thank you
Nice job mate👌👌. I have a golf mk4 2002, and I'm going to change the normal heated seats to leather seats. Thanks.
Ah awesome, lucky you have the heated loom already there
@@meatmanifesto oh yes. Especially winter time lol. It's something that I love about this car.
@@johnjohn5137 I'm now wishing I did take the loom out 😂😂

😂😂 new cars don't do anything for me, love a good old Vdub 👌

Should fit straight in, over in the UK post 2000 models all have the same airbag connectors
Thanks boss.💪🏾
Another question the rails. Are they the same? Like the bottom brackets?
Yes will be exactly the same
Any advise plz, just want to swap my seats front and back from my golf mk4 5door 2003. to be replaced with seats from vw boro
5 door around same year, will i have any issues with this swap? Neither are heated. is it completely necessary to disconnect the
battery to do this>? many thanks

Thanks my friend 💪
Glad the video helped
Is it possible to run the car without the seats attached? I need to move it about 50 meters down into a garage and I would like to have brakes to do so..
Yes just will have the Airbag light on
Did you pull the wiring loom out for the heated seats?
No I didn't bother in the end looked a pain in the backside
@@meatmanifesto ahhh i have read so much about it being a nightmare but I will be attempting it tomorrow. Please pray for my success haha
I kinda wish I did I remember the switches loom was wrapped around other wires and disappeared into the dash, maybe worth taking the dash out but good luck.
I have a different MK4 golf now I may get another doner car and do it again properly
Yeah heard the loom is all over the place but I'm hoping that as this is a doner car I can just smash my way through. If not I have found an aftermarket loom for £50.
Thanks for the tips
Does somebody know if seats from mk5 will fit in my mk4 ?
Definitely won't fit bud

1998-2000 Golfs have different airbag connectors to 2001 onwards. So as long as they're both 2001 onwards should be a straight swap over.
Thanks
@@meatmanifesto whoa what a quick response! Hahah, thanks a lot man, cheers!
No worries at all, hope the swap all goes to plan 💯🔥
What year is the car?
2003

The airbag connection yes, the heated seat connection won't be there
