Recaro LS recliner repair

[dude8383]

I have an odd issue with my LS's. Pic for reference:



So the issue I'm having with both driver and passenger seats is they tend to roll back by themselves overnight. The passenger side more so.

At the track this is even more disconcerting because on hard braking the seat rolls back. How do I tighten up the gear that holds the seat in place? Has anyone ever had this problem?

You need to change this:





Part number is: 191-881-493

Call VW, they should be able to have it.

I think I might need these too.
Where do they mount?

They are a little foam spacer that sits underneath the adjustment knob. I've had luck using an o-ring in it's place.

Thanks!!!

Bump from dead. I'm having issues getting a mk2 recaro to not fall back. Or "creep" back. It doesn't look the same as above. I've taken the mechanism apart and added some washers and it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I'll posts some pics tomorrow.
