Skoda Kodiaq Seat Heating Problem

My 2019 Skoda Kodiaq with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. The seat heating isn't working at all! It just stays cold, even on the highest setting. I scanned it with an OBD reader, and it's showing an error related to the seat heating. Could it be the seat heating mat? I've heard those can be problematic. Anyone else experience this?

I had similar seat heating issues in my Kodiaq. Does the error memory specifically point to the seat cushion? Have you checked the wiring harness under the seat?

Wiring harness, you say? Where exactly should I be looking? And how would I know if it's the seat cushion versus something else?

Yes, the error memory pointed to the seat heating mat on mine as well. While the wiring harness is a possibility, a defective seat heating mat is far more common. Considering you have an error code and the seat isn't heating at all, it's likely the mat. I would recommend having a workshop confirm the diagnosis. Replacing the seat heating mat involves removing the seat cushion, which can be tricky.

Took it to the shop as suggested. It was indeed the seat heating mat, just like you said. They also found an error with the thermal sensor. Cost me around 390€ to get it fixed. Thanks a bunch for your help!
