Lee_ Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Looking through the search it seems this is a bit of a common problem on Lupo's / Arosa's. I've tried GT85 on the catches and things whilst the seat is tilted forward but this still hasn'tcured it.Has anyone actually managed to stop them squeaking? If so, how?

treblet Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Turn the stereo up, solves all the lupo's squeaks and rattles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My old seats were fine, but since mounting the TT seats on some old subframes last week, the drivers seat squeaks like mad, I think I have pinpointed it to a rubber that is by the rear mount nearest the door in the runner, If that makes sense.I hope to be looking at it this week, Will et you know if I sort it, Is this where yours is coming from ?, Would be interesting to know if it is.

Lee_ Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'll have a good look this weekend, maybe take the seat out and look at it.As said, I'm having the radio turned up to stop me going insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Finally sorted them Took the seat out of the car and eventually found what was causing the noise, sprayed some GT85 on the offending area and all is good.The noise was coming from the catch where the seat 'clunks' back into, there is no need to remove the seat to oil the catchit can be done whilst the seat is tipped forward in the car.Some pictures,and on the other side.

jon_273 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ahh Lee you beat me to it! My seat was driving me mad so a month or so ago I stripped it down to find out what was squeaking...In the end I oiled the catches (same as the one's you've shown) and that cured it:It's been silent ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
