Rear Seats

[G0DAH]

I have just got my Ghia 1.9 tdi and that makes me a total newbie for want of a better term, the two rear seats are missing. My question is do the seats from the Mk1 fit the Mk2? I have tried to seach to find the answer but I don't think it has ever been asked.....or has it?

simple answer yes, now do you want the complicated bit about the seat handing, the arm rest options, trim colours.........

they do fit although IIRC there was some modification of the seat squabs to allow slightly easier folding without damaging the fabric on the lever mechanisms, we've got a single mk1 seat in our mk2 - the seat mechanisms appear identical (at least functionally)

Now all I have to do is find some Tan ones. A bit like rocking horse droppings and hens teeth,but we'll keep looking.

Thanks for the gen.

By the way the name is Brian.

Let me know if you need a changer!

 

I would offer you the seats from ours, as they are very rarely used, but it would leave us the same problem if we ever sold it or needed to use them

 

I`m sure somewhere there is a European Galaxy seat mountain!

i think people take them out, stick em in garage, if you dont ask for them, they then offer them on e-bay and you buy them back :lol: :D

the Aspen model, we looked at a couple that were only five seaters as standard and had no rear heater unit! VW did a six seater version!

As did Ford - the early Ghia models were 6 seat (up to October 1996)

not on the ones we looked at, the Aspen had three seats across the second row and the Sharan had only one seat in the third row with no arm!

seems some odd combinations there !!!

The early Ghia models were, yes. It was also an option on later models too, usually combined with the leather facing.

I had one of the early Ghias, it had six 'captain' seats but no Aircon. :blink: Andy.

There was some company who did modifications on gals to allow wheelchair access he used to sell the redundant seats ( brand new mostly ) on ebay I think.
