    Euro RS4 Steering Wheel and Recaro Seats

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am interested in the Euro steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara for the RS4 and the Recaro seats.

    Can I get a price quote and availability from someone? Thanks.

    We cannot get the Alcantara steering wheel. It's only available from quattro GmbH and they turn us down every time we try. It's available from PPI that way though if you want one.

    The Recaro seats are available new (~4k each) or as a complete take-out RS4 interior for $6,750.

    Did the Recaro seats only come in black? And does the interior include front and rear seats, and door panels? And is that price for used or new interior?

    Thanks.

    Are you talking about the Euro bucket RS4 seats? Both the US and the Euro bucket seats for the RS4 are made by Recaro ....

    Re: Euro RS4 Steering Wheel and Recaro Seats

    I had a set of OE European B5 RS4 recaro seats until 2 weeks ago when I sold them. I've got a set of European S6 alcatantara recaros in the USA but they won't fit the B5.

    BTW the majority of the RS4 recaro seats were silk nappa leather. I don't even think Alcantara is listed as an option in the parts catalog.

    The RS4 interior we have is complete: front and rear seats, door panels, center console, etc.

    We also have a C5-chassis RS6 interior in black with silver piping.

    Re: Euro RS4 Steering Wheel and Recaro Seats

    The RS4 B5 seats aren't a bolt in to a B5. The European electric seats have a manual front/back adjuster so you will have to weld in a front mount from a manual seat car or route electrical wires for the other seat controls if you had full manual seats.

    The RS4 rear seat backrest also won't fit unless you have an B5 Avant. The Avant side bolsters are different from the sedan and the sedans lack the appropriate mounts for the fold down parts.

    I've sold many of the B5 RS4 seats over the past few years, and they are a wonderful upgrade, but not a bolt in.

    I would love to get just the fronts though and have them match my Silver interior.

    Nice find on the wheel below though.

    For that price? No. The seats are nearly $4k each when new. BTW - This is a B7 RS4 interior, not B5.

    We can provide the airbags. Not cheap, but there aren't many options for them...

    Ok. The interior I found isn't new either and is priced for $4,500.

    Are your airbags priced under $500?

    Used B5 RS4 parts are nearly impossible to find... we saw a complete interior on www.eBay.co.uk last week...

    Are the B5 Recaro's direct bolt in for Avants? I have a 98 A4 Avant and would love to get my hands on a set for drivers and passenger sides.

    The rears are a bolt in but the front's are not. The European RS4 seats utilize a manual for and aft adjustment but have electric recline and bolsters, so if you have electric front seats you need to weld in a manual seat mount, or if you have manual seats you will have to install the electrics from electric seats.
