Thanks for the video. It is very helpfull. Is it possible to drive a touran without passenger seat in the front row and not having airbag failure or any warning message? I have to carry a quite long item and it only fits in the car if I remove the passenger seat in the front.
Unfortunately, unplugging the seat harness will cause the airbag light to pop up on your instrument cluster, and that will require a special tool to clear, once the seat is replaced. I am unable to confirm whether or not there is a risk of the airbag deploying in this scenario, although it seems unlikely.
Unfortunately I don't know. Those are still quite rare in New Zealand. The platform is so similar that I'd suspect that most of the seat systems are the same or very similar.
It's possible, with some modification. Safety would not comply though, because the seatbelt could not work as intended, and the airbag would be hazardous.
@@troubledtinkerer the goal wouldn't be to have someone sit in it while driving. What kind of modifications would be required? I don't need the airbags to be working for the passenger seat (as long as its not dangerous for the driver/me)
Thank you mate very useful video, getting front seats from a Touran into a caddy😃
That's an awesome mod. Good luck with that.
Please what's the name of the screaw driver that fit in ?
Hi mate, when fitting the seats back in, how tight should I fasten the bolts? Should I set my torque wrench to 30 Newton-metres?

@@troubledtinkerer Thank you for your quick response! :)
Thank you very much
Are tose torx bits? The bigger one on the car look different with mor teath? The one you call m10 is it soecial bolt?
It's not torx. It's a spline /triple square
Awesome video! Do you know if it's the same connectors on 1t3 (2011-2015) seats as on 1t2?

Did you disconnect the battery in order to not activate the airbags?
Yes
did i have airbag failure on instrument after get back seats
You should not turn the key on while the seats are unplugged
@@troubledtinkerer ok thanks
After removing the shotgun seat, could it be reconnected facing the rear?

Great tutorial 👍🏼
Good video well explained
Thank you !
Don't you mean T1 Touareg?
No. This is a touran.
That sounds like a south african accent...very cool
