Not a very exciting update, but I didn't realise until recently that some VY/VZ's came with factory heated seats. With this being a feature I'd like to add when I eventually get the interior redone I found a NOS factory switch on Ebay for not too much. Still need to find a passenger side one in black so if anyone sees one for sale let me know. Will probably be years before it gets used, but atleast I have it for when the time comes.

oooo I hadn't seen those before, wonder if I could find some bases as well somewhere too. Only thing is they'll likely be a different shape between the Stato and Maloo seats.

From what I can tell, that was the Chinese export version. Daewoo something or other.

I found left and right buttons but they were grey, not black.
It was an export only option.

Would be good to use on an after market seat heater.
One of my favourite options on my new car.

Would love to adapt a WL HVAC modified to cool the seat.

Yeah the grey buttons are easier to find than the black ones, they won't be done for a while anyway but I've just gotta keep a lookout for the other black one when I see one thats not drug money.

The one thing I loved about my Hyundai i30 sr premium = heated /cooled seats= worked an absolute treat.

Well it was also lite on fuel !!
= guess that's another like.

In typical fashion I now have a coolant leak somehow, everything is tight and there is no witness signs of holes or drips on the radiator itself. Below the raditator is damp though and I've now got small drips on the garage floor. Tomorrows problem, but frustrating.

Are you losing coolant. I know VEs can leak from the washer bottle filler tube. Not sure if VZ 6.0 have a similar set up?
