Seat Heaters

[Mark J. Besso]

As I understand it, the service action covers '02-'04 cars.  It's for ones 
that have already been through the R2/R3 or M2/M3 recall process and are now 
experiencing the "burning."  For Volkswagen it covered Passat, Golf, Jetta, 
and Jetta Sportwagen.  I'm not even sure if there's an Audi counterpart to 
this service action which is why I suggested calling your local dealer.

  the last Winter, as in the past, I have used the heaters for hours on long
  trips, with no problems.  This is a new problem that recently started, so
  something has changed, which I want to try to fix.
  
  b) How old were the cars when they offered to fix them under "goodwill"?
  Mine is 9 years old, and long past the warrantee period.  Unless there's
  some secret recalls or service bulletins on this problem, I can't imagine
  that they would be willing to fix the problem for free for a car that is 
4+
  years out of warrantee.

  I know the VW dealership I work for has had a number of customers with the
  same complaint on Passats.  The factory is covering them under "goodwill"
  and they are getting new seat covers and/or heaters as required free of
  charge.
  
  Might want to check into that same thing with your local Audi dealer.

   My 09 passat has very hot seats also even on 1.
   
   Maybe I (we) have a sensitive arse.
