hi malcolm thanks for that,but mine is a 171 model,have you instructions for these? thanks simon.
Should be, had the same problem with my C55 and merc tier 1 covered itJust a thought would the heated seats be covered under a mercedes tier one warranty.Reason I ask is my recently bought CLK drivers seat base dosn't heat up
hi simon, you will find the seat base has 3x seperate elements wired in series - so if one fails they all do. the two side elements are available without the upholstery, and not too expensive, so if it is one or both of these that has failed you can fit new. otherwise you may as well find the broken section (easy, find the burn mark in the padding) and repair it as the base center and back sections are extremely expensive.
...If you do find the break in the element how do you connect the two ends...
In the same boat myself, having recently bought another SLK i tried the seats first and the base did heat up, but now tried it properly it just gets a little warm equal to #1 setting
Having bought from a non franchised dealer the best i could expect is to have a cheap after market heater fitted and properly begger up the seat base as well
Its not something that worries me too much but is annoying
If you do find the break in the element how do you connect the two ends
Malcolm any chance of any instructions on the cover SLK 171 57 AMG
many thanks
