Hi,
How do I remove the seat cushion of the rear bench in a 2006 Passat 3C, or how do I fold it down enough to access the fuel pump?
The two front tabs came out easily, but now I'm having trouble with the two side ones. I don't want to force anything, because this thing is probably very expensive.
"Thank you."
Best regards, Johannes. selber schrauben - statt Werkstattpfusch

Soda or station wagon?
With the Variant, I can easily fold it down. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
Here's how to remove the lemon-lime soda bottle: Pull the top forward until it's clear of the front of the packaging. Then, push it firmly backward and pull it upward from the back, releasing it from the side guides.

Are "Limo" and "Vari" different things?
Wow, what nonsense...
Good thing I didn't shave and filmed a video of the Variant in this cold weather  .

Could you speak up? Otherwise, I would have already bought a rear seat bench with two integrated child seats in my preferred fabric on eBay for a cheap 150 euros. But unfortunately, the sedan and the station wagon have different mounting systems (and, according to what I've read online, cannot be converted in a useful way).

Sure!

Guste, what are you looking for?
Perhaps my nieces want to sell their black MJ07-Comfortline double child seats for cash.

Hi Martin,
We both have the Sportline. And would you put a rear seat bench from the Comfortline in the back?  I wouldn't either.
I am looking for a black Sportline fabric rear seat bench (color code: WN) with at least one (preferably two) integrated child seats. Ideally, it should also have both headrests.
PS: Were the headrests actually standard equipment on the child seats? For some reason, headrests are only included on a few of the child seat benches listed on the website.
Maybe I'll put that in the search bar...
Regards,
Guste.

Yes.
The horns are part of it.
I bought a trumpet on eBay and I'm driving my car with a regular booster seat and the trumpet.
The WQ (Sportline fabric in Latte Macchiato color) was not available with child seats.

I learned something new again.
I actually need exactly http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370175776117, but for Variant and preferably with ears.
But maybe someone has the opportunity to find out if it's actually possible to attach the soda dispenser to the Variant model.
Regards,
Guste.

Hi there,
Depending on the price (!) if possible, I would proceed with retrofitting the variant rear seat bench to the limousine. This is possible. The underframe of the rear seat bench is different between the Golf IV Variant and mine, but the top surface is not. Perhaps, if you have the general shape of the seat surface, you can take this step  .
However, the price needs to be reasonable for such an experiment.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Limo (limousine) for comparison. Therefore, I can't say exactly what the differences are. According to AKTE (a parts catalog), all the part numbers are different. This is probably because the rear seat in the standard car is divided and foldable, while in the Limo, it's a continuous, fixed bench. However, the foldability wouldn't matter to me.
I would be willing to consider some compromises regarding the 190 euros. However, I would need to be reasonably certain that it could potentially work.
Best regards,
Guste.
