    2004 S4's - Have you had Recaro issues?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My driver's side seat element is shot as is part of the frame (snapped).

    Feels ok but dealer wants close to $800 CDN to repair.

    Has anyone done either repair (seat heat or seat frame back replacement?)

    I am not heavy but the car is driven hard (tracked too).

    I'm surprised.... Audi's have really high quality seats going back as far as I remember. My 4000s Quattro had 195k on it when I sold it and the driver's seat looked new. My current Avant has 90k on it same deal. I'm 225lbs.
