Leaky S8 lumbar support - can it be fixed?
It's beginning to annoy me that the lumbar supports in both my front seats (S8 Recaro Sports seats) deflate fairly quickly.
Having just read a thread on another forum about fixing a different design of Audi-fitted Recaro it has spurred me into investigative mode.
That seat was fixed fairly easily by dismantling the seat, removing the pump unit and sealing a crack that had developed in the plastic body at a connection point. I'm thinking that the S8 seats may use basically the same pump and have the same problem.
So does anyone have any idea how to get into these big heavy beasts (ideally in situ) in such a way that they can be reassembled afterwards?
