I was wondering if anyone could help me with the problem of seat wobble. Only real way i can describe it not much to go on but i cant seem to find anything about it in Haynes.

Assuming it's the normal VW loose seat problem, there are two plastic blocks that locate the seat frame into the runner - these split and fall out leaving only the pin. This lets the seat flop around and rattle....

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Where is the wobble in the seat to help I really need a bit more of an idea as to what the problem is.
Does the whole seat wobble? just the backrest or the seat phob? Is the wobble up down, back and forth or side to side?
The more information you can give the better.

it tends to wobble when tilting either to my left or right. The whole seat is moving so i am hoping its the plastic blocks mentioned.

Oh and its the Seat ibiza gti 16v T reg, i know it shares the same dash as the polo of the same age so hopefully it will be a similar fix as a polo.

Glad I clicked on this thread, I have a mk1 golf with a wobble on the runner, this would seem to explain it!

Yep, out of 4 so far I'm yet to have a VW that doesn't have wobbly seats because of those damn clips.
