Sinking Seat

[rjm]

I adjust the driving seat up using the adjustment handle. However after a short while the seat is back at it's lowest height..........it seems to sink back down!

Anyone else noticed the same problem?

I haven't looked at the seat but presume there is something hydraulic underneath that isn't working properly.

Yes a lot of people on the danish forum have this problem.

I don't but my seat is always in the lowest position

yep seems to take a few days but yes it definetley does it

Not remembering if I've ever adjusted mine, is there a quick way to tell if it's at the bottom of its travel?

[atti]

yes, at both ends the leaver will not work anymore.
mine is sinking also...but slowly..it was same in my previous car so i don't worry much

nope, mine seems to hold and I keep it very high. I'm not short, just like to drive high. I hate the coupe style, sitting/laying lower then the steering wheel.

Interesting. I must try this. I'm tall, so not having the seat adjusted to the floor will give me bumps on the head. My car are going in for first service and this could be a good time to get them to fix other things. How long does it take before the seat sinks back ?

[atti]

in my case every now and then I pull once up on the lever...i cant say that i do it often.
my seat is in middle position

Ok, I will try and see then. Probably I will never notice the error since i sit on the floor anyway Maybe if my girlfriend starts driving the car...

Then you really are tall. I'm 1.80m and don't have a problem sitting on the seat raised for about 2cm, plenty of headroom left.
