Re: HEATED SEAT NOT WORKING

[Robert A Strain <rstrain@wam.umd.edu>]

Look at your switches first.  As we all know, Audi switches tend to
fatigue as the miles add up.  My seat heaters didn't woork, so I used
(borrowed) a switch from a customer's car and found that my swithes were
defective.  Use your passenger switch to test the driver's side.

A new switch at the dealer will cost you about 39.99 and a bit less with
your Quattro club discount.
