Suggestion

First thing before you start *DISCONNECT BATTERY* even the slightest snagg on the electric wires under the seats will trigger an airbag fault code and put the light on the dash.

Habit for me, the seat belt pretentioners can have the Yellow wire (airbag circuit) which if disconnected with battery connected triggers the fault.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do I remove them? I saw a couple of torx bolts at the back but not at the front :dont know:

POST 2Original post

They are the opposite sex to Torx, known as E-drive, it is E12 for the seats, a popular socket in 1/2" drive format for Rover head bolts. First thing before you start *DISCONNECT BATTERY* even the slightest snagg on the electric wires under the seats will trigger an airbag fault code and put the light on the dash. Once the battery is disconnected, undo all the E-drive bolts (2 front, 2 rear) then lean the seat back to access the wires underneath, disconnect them then carefully remove the seat from the car.

POST 4Original post

Stuart has done this and put GT3 carbon styley bling seats in his - they look good. I think he won them off eBay. http://www.911uk.com/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=161

POST 5Original post

Yup, easy to remove, follow this http://gallery.rennlist.com/gallery/albuq41 Has pictures and everything... :thumb:

POST 6Original post

The plug on the seat connector can be tricky if you don't know how to undo it. It has a locking slide which you need to pull out, and then it comes apart easily. Not sure why you would need to disconnect the battery. I never do, but then again I have the gear to fix an airbag light. Edit: Forgot the picture!

POST 7Original post

Habit for me, the seat belt pretentioners can have the Yellow wire (airbag circuit) which if disconnected with battery connected triggers the fault. I admit maybe not on Porsche but I know for sure GM does this, often the airbag will come on because of things being shoved under the seats.
