check all is working and if so tighten fully the bracket to the seat rail for the front motor
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.

hi,
the rear of the passenger seat in my C2 seems to be fixed in terms of height and wont raise or lower despite the motor working fine. the front adjustement works fine as does backrest and fore and aft movement.
ive looked under this but cant seem to see whats amiss though a plastic sleeve at the rear face of the motor seems cracked slightly. this doesnt do anything when the motor operates so may just be a red herring or also the root of the problem. its hard to make much sense peering under upside down.
how exactly does this portion work and is there a quick way to get the seat to its lowest position manually as a short term solution for now. once its down it wont really need to go elsewhere.
anyone got any ideas
ok,
delved under properly and the connecting cable from the motor itself to the adjusting gear mechanism at the rear of the seat is missing which explains the lack of adjustment
im unsure without reference how this actually fits and thus how simple replacing is. is it detachable at each end or fixed at one or both and has therefore snapped entirely.
i removed the two obvious torx screws holding the adjustment mechanism to the frame hoping i could slide out the mechanism and simply push down the seat before reinserting to lock down but sadly it wouldnt seem to free up.
i guess ill need to remove the seat entirely to enable me to look into this in more detail
anyone got a seat out or lying around they could help give me ideas with or anyone had the same problem?
just to update incase anyone ever needs to do this.
the seat could be adjusted manually by inserting a small square file into the rear geared mechanism and turning however i purchased a replacement cable and fixed this in about half an hour working with the seat in the car.
the cable is like a short speedo cable with square ends to fit into the motor and mechanism. i fitted the front first. the motor requires removal and i found it easier to remove the support bracket from the side of the seat rail then separate the motor from this as i couldnt get access to one screw in situ.
the support bracket also doubles as the fixing plate for the cable at the motor end, once off just slot in the cable to the bracket and reattach the bracket by aligning up the square end with the hole in the motor drive then refix to the seat frame loosely.
move the seat forward then fit the other end to the geared adjustment mechanism. there were two screws holding a plate to this left from the old cable. with this unscrewed the new plate that is attached as part of the cable is clear to fit here. just insert the cable end into the mechanism and then align and fit the plate to secure. check all is working and if so tighten fully the bracket to the seat rail for the front motor
