Hi, Im after a pair of OEM swivel bases for my captain seats! So I was wondering if anyone is looking for or would be willing to swap (with cash your way) for 2x height adjustable bases? And we can swap out the bases and keep our own seats etc. Seats in my van are brand new and only covered...

Hi all! My first post on the forum, so hopefully one that hasn’t been covered some million and one times! We’ve just purchased a T6.1 to hire out after hiring out others many a time, we thought we’d give it a go ourselves! Anyway, being naive, I assume that no car seat would ever come...

Howdy, long time lurker, joined in Nov22 with my new to me T6 Kombi. Driver seat has the OEM swivel base, never going to used and I just don't like lack of height adjustment. I found a few new/used OEM height adjustable bases online - 7E0 881 618 B (image below) - is it feasible to change the...

Bah, wish I had known you were swapping, I'm thinking of going the other way, swapping from OEM swivel to height adjustable.

Dragging up an old thread as I’m about ready to ditch my 6.1 over the no height adjustable seat. Bought a height adjustable base and going to remove base and back from swivel and install onto height adjustable. How’s you get the lumbar adjuster cover off, prise it out ? Are the plastic covers...

Aftermarket ones will always raise the height as they go between the seat and the base. You will also lose the ability to height adjust as the side seats trims will block the swivel when down. You can buy aftermarket shortened bases to address some of these issues but you can't always use...

Can any one help with advice regarding fitting an OEM swivel seat base to a heated captain seat with electric lumbar support and height adjustment if it’s possible to do so? Also are the OEM swivels universal? Thanks

Thanks

Oh you’re joking? Typical that. I put a post on here asking if anyone was interested in swapping/PX before I bought my swivel too!

Not sure mate....Only thing I don't like about our van is the double swivel. It's handy don't get me wrong and we do use it, but it's a total faff to use, isn't adjustable and you can't just walk through from the front seats to the rear. My good lady doesn't care for the extra height and not...

OEM seat swivels and height adjustment are not compatible so not available to order from VW in a new vehicle. Many of us use factory seats with height adjustment and fit after market swivels. This just means that there are some limitations to what height (lower positions) the seat can be swivelled.

Right, sorry I misread the question. I thought it was just about swapping the seats. That makes more sense! Yes, the swivels are in the seats. I believe someone on here tried to retrofit the swivel to a different seat but not sure if they were successful

I have the factory fit front swivel seats in my 72 plate kombi van that are non height adjustable, is there anyway i can convert to get more height as I could do with them being 25mm to 50mm higher for my long legs?

Factory swivels are in the seats, thats why you lose the height adjustment. I have read on here that it is possible to retro fit.

I have for sale my Drivers side OEM swivel seat frame and seat plastics taken from my 27000 mile 2017 T6. I changed to a height adjustable seat frame because my kitchen layout doesn't allow the seat to swivel all the way round. This won't work on the passenger side because it only swivels to the...

Hi deaky Do you happen to know how you remove the OEM swivel seat assembly from the seat I need to separate the base and back of the chair to fit heated elements any advice would be greatly appreciated?

Raising shims could work. Something like this: (you will need to check bolts etc all fit as its meant to be used with a swivel I believe) https://www.kiravans.co.uk/products/raising-shims-for-vw-t5-passenger-side-seat-swivel

Would you be willing to sell me the height adjustment base please ?

Yeah, you can do that, unbolt the swivel and replace with the height adjuster.
