Seat Formentor seat heating malfunction
Summary of the thread
A Seat Formentor owner reported a malfunction with the seat heating system, which failed to provide warmth and stored an error code in the vehicle's memory. The suspected cause was a defective seat heating mat. Another individual suggested that the issue could be due to a faulty connection or the heating mat itself. It was recommended to have the vehicle checked by a workshop to confirm the faulty part. Upon inspection, the workshop confirmed that the heating element in the seat cushion was defective, and the repair would cost approximately 390€.

Thank you for your swift response. The error message does not specify a particular seat. When you mention 'heating mat,' are you referring to the heating element located within the seat cushion itself?

Yes, heating mat is the heating element inside the seat cushion. If the error isn't specific, it's harder to diagnose without proper tools. Best to get it checked by a workshop to confirm the faulty part. They can pinpoint if it's wiring or the heating element itself.

I appreciate you sharing that, it is useful information. I took the vehicle to a workshop and they confirmed the heating element in the seat cushion was defective. Automotive repair cost will be around 390€, including parts and labor. Thank you again for your help.

I had similar seat heater issues in my Formentor. Does the error memory specify which seat? It might be a faulty connection or the heating mat itself.
