Seat Warmer

[Grant]

Yes, you can replace the element, at least on later Audis. But its a BIG 
job. You need to dis-assemble the seat. When mine was done under 
warranty, it sent to an upholstery shop and took > day.

Once its open, its supposedly easy.  Lay in a new element and secure it 
in a few places.
