Seat bladder leaking

[V6Matty]

So when I bought the car I knew the passenger seat had a slight leak on one of the bladders. Since my wife has been using the massage function quite a bit so I'd like to get it fixed before the pump burns out due to being over worked.
How easy is it to replace or repair these bladders and is it a DIY job or best left for the Indy?

Seat covers need to come off, and they swap out, they are quite expensive I think.
I also think they can be repaired.

Fairly involved either way.

Thought that might be the case, as the cars got 4 zone climate I have a feeling it's going to be a job for the Indy at some point. The bags inflate but won't hold pressure for more than a few seconds so I know it's a big enough leak to fry the pump if swmbo keeps wanting a massage

My dynamic side bolsters don't work on the passenger side, they are a bit useless imo so I don't use them.

It is worth fixing though, any journey without the seat massager working would cause me lots of grief from the passenger seat!

Absolutely, the cost of fixing them is nothing compared to te earache that will ensu
