Anyone encountered this ?
The drivers seat in my VI reclines itself !
Strange but true.
Gradually when driving I become aware that the position I have adjusted with the reclining control moves to a more reclined position , I then have to readjust , but the
same thing occurs. I havn't actually investigated the mechanism or the cause as yet , so if anyone can save me time by relating their experience I wud appreciate it.
Cheers.

Yep : the seat in my V does the same - I'm always having to wind-it forwards to avoid laying down !

My 6 does it too!

Didn't you see autoreclining seats on the list of extras?

You must be a mind reader! I was just thinking the same today, but because no one has mentioned it before, I thought it must be my lardy frame! Perhaps this is what the recall is for!

the ones in my astramax van do it aswell, but then its covered 137.000 miles!!! the recaros in my 4 dont do this, however on (hard!! he he)cornering the back moves side to side occasionaly. German engineering for you!!!

My old steed (Cinq Sporting, molto fun

) had this trait too. Prolly the only thing it shares with a VI mind ye!

Anyone know if it happens in Scoobys too?

The Recaros in my 6 are mighty similar to those in an STi.

Yep happened on my old Sti 4, and come to think about it also on all of the cossies I've had ... so I put it down to being a 'lardy' !

The auto recline option is also fitted to my 6. I understand the Accord Type R's have the problem too. Virtually the same Recaro types.
