Hey thanks a lot for that vidéo ! I've done the job on my '16 Léon Cupra and it save me so much time ... Now it's ready for Magny Cours F1 track ;) with about 30kg less weight
Thanks! Finally, an idiot-proof guide for this action. Mother-in-law put a homemade fish pie on the back seat, and it spilled all over the fabric seat base. Car utterly stinks! Needed to get the rear seat base out to clean it properly. Life saver tutorial.
Awesome video man! I appreciate it a lot & you got yourself a subscriber, I have a 2015 golf high line diesel, would really like to see some more weight reduction for anything on this car, so far I got stage two Malone tune & full exhaust with full emissions delete, also I took out my def tanks & wiring after tune & exhaust. For more weight reduction I removed the bottom front plastic skid plate & other one under engine bay as I don’t need & helps get mor heat out from underneath, & I took the hood liner out & also the big cover over the top of my Diesel engine, it is ugly without it, but it dissipates more heat & also less weight as it was a lot heavier then I thought.
I would keep the undertray on as it real helps with cooling and aerodynamics. The battery is often overlooked for weight reduction and going to a large lithium motorcycle battery can save over 10KG of high mounted front end weight. That is next on my list. There is also a lot of sound deadening under the carpets and rear plastic panels that can all come out. The carpet can go back in and it look normal, just a bit louder. I have a light race seat for the car as well but haven't gotten around to installing it yet.
@@TheEddysGarageokay thankyou. I did it with out disconnecting the battery 😂 and so far when starting the car up it shows that someone is sat there. It comes up saying the seat belt is connected which is fine as it doesn’t beep or anything so all good
The Eddy’s Garage I pulled out my seat and taped the metal frame of the cushion, and it’s cured! However, I broke the rear air outlet bent when i was pulling the seat out😂😂😂😂
Thanks for those details bud ! however i tried today its so tuff ! i failed for the moment! should i try to leave the isofix first totally before trying to move, maybe it can help ?
@@TheEddysGarage yep bro i did it thanks a lot u help me so much with ur vid! is there a trick to replace the back seat after? didn't try yet im working on the fuel pump but today i replace everything :)
Nice video! Question for you, do you know which one of the plugs underneath the rear seats is for haldex? Trying to disconnect it for running mine on the Dyno in 2wd. I believe one plug is the fuel pump, the other is haldex. Curious if you knew which one is which lol thanks!
@@TheEddysGarage no worries I appreciate your response. I actually contacted USP Motorsports and they actually recommended this procedure. Check their latest Dyno video for their RS3. 2wd run on a Dyno jet. 😀 I'll get under there and see what's under the covers.
Thanks for doing that, saved me hours of struggling and probably just giving up!
Happy to help

Thank you so much this has helped me very much❤
Im glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for the video; for anyone wondering, it also works on the 2006 VW Passat B6 3.6 4Motion
Wx should be very similar if not the same
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Helped greatly in getting the seats out of my GTI.
I finally got around to putting the seats back in and your video helped me once again. Merci!

What do you do with that wire that connects to the seat belt buckle
Just undo it
The rear seat belt clips they have a wire going to them can I disconnect or does it leave lights on
Sorry I never disconnected it to check
@@TheEddysGaragebut to get the seats out you need to disconnect it from the buckle or you can’t get the seats out ?
@@harrybailey3591 sorry yes , disconnect battery and undo it.
@@TheEddysGarageokay thankyou. I did it with out disconnecting the battery 😂 and so far when starting the car up it shows that someone is sat there. It comes up saying the seat belt is connected which is fine as it doesn’t beep or anything so all good
@@harrybailey3591how did you unclip the wire ?
great video. If you remove the front seat please make a video :)
We just got a Sparco race seat so we will be doing one as soon as we get a seat base for it :)
My gti has some clicking noise under rear seat pad... when someone sits on the back seat the noise is gone... Any idea what is the noise source?
卓尧杜 pull out your seat and have a look. I had coins rattling around under mine.
The Eddy’s Garage I pulled out my seat and taped the metal frame of the cushion, and it’s cured! However, I broke the rear air outlet bent when i was pulling the seat out😂😂😂😂
Do you have to remove the sub to do this?
No I just removed it to shed some weight
Thanks for those details bud ! however i tried today its so tuff ! i failed for the moment! should i try to leave the isofix first totally before trying to move, maybe it can help ?
1111italia1111 I pulled them out to make it easier. You need to push them in then pull out. Check out the J shaped slot I show in the video
@@TheEddysGarage yep bro i did it thanks a lot u help me so much with ur vid! is there a trick to replace the back seat after? didn't try yet im working on the fuel pump but today i replace everything :)
Just put it in the the same motion as you put it in so the hooks catch on the seat bottom
6:51 Any guide to remove that small compartment? Appreciate it much.
To open it you turn the little knob 90°. I don’t know how to totally remove it
Maybe my question confused you. Lol. I intend to remove the whole compartment.
At 8:31, is the left side one of the two access holes, Haldex controller cabling?
khvidtube1617 I believe so but I haven’t checked

Savage Panda Projects not sure sorry. Best if you go to a proper 4wd dyno. If your tuner doesn’t have one then you need a better tuner!

@@savagepandaprojects so where is the fuel pump right or left ?
@@1111italia1111 fuel pump is right side
@@savagepandaprojects U saved my life !
2:24 what are the white metallic parts in the middle, insulation?
Yes sound deadening
Yes sound deadening
Does anyone know if you can fit these 8v seats to and 8p model
LIM3 I have seen it done. Irishgolfrs6 on Instagram has the reverse. 8p wingbacks in a mk7 golf r
