Game and eliminate annoying crackle in the seat

Perhaps you know that and you've often been asked whether there is a solution for it. In almost every bend and shear loading of the seat audible crack a tiny millimeter back and forth. Sensitive people feel that in the course buttometer :-) . At least that often in the Golf IV and Bora or experienced the big brother, the Passat. I think I know that some Audi models equipped with the same type of support. At fault are certainly the two camps of the height adjustment consisting only of stamped steel and depending on the manufacturing tolerances of the assembly-line worker and spirits are compressed more or less. The solution is so obvious: Brute Force! - But please, at the right place.

The seat must not be removed completely, it is sufficient if it is only tilted forward. Back from the backseat Disassemble the two covers for the seat rails, seat pushed all the way back and the front bottom of the foot, the two hex screws that were hidden under the seat. Now you can pull the seat back from the rail and tilt back from the back seat of the chair forward so that you get to the bottom of the seat. Before that pumps all the way up so you better come to the camp. The cable for airbags and heated seats are possibly long enough and can stay connected. Here you can see now the Z-shaped support of the height adjustment. At the corners of this Z are the two bearings, which run from left to right in a flanged pipe.

They get you now at the hardware store of trust in a screw M10x150 with matching nut and 2 washers.

Put this now through the tube and pulls the mother to be nice, right with a vengeance! In any case it must be so strong that it pulls the flare closer together. Screw back out and if you turn that has made all the two camps, one is actually already done. If the brief does not bring lasting improvement in compression, can be also installed 2 of these bolts easy adjustment of the seat will still work. Then the seat in the reverse order of disassembly.
