Probs due to the extra gubbins fitted under the drivers seat on the AB, I expect CTC or other more knowledgeable bods can advise, don’t think there is any mechanical adjustment other than seat removal with spanners “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |

Not sure how it explain this in an easy to understand way, but here goes. The motors on the seats have a memory chip, so the motor knows how many turns to do for the seat to reach maximum up / down ETC, if it was assembled a tooth or two out, or been messed with at any time it may not reach one of its extremes as the motor thinks its already there. I did one not long ago with this very problem, not going up enough. I ended up removing the seat, plug the electrics back in, remove the motor, press the up switch with the motor out until the motor stopped. Then literally lift the seat to the maximum height manually and refit the motor, and hey presto it worked as it should. This may not be your fault and is a faf to do but worked on this occasion. |

Cheers Diesel Dave, I know exactly what you mean. I'll investigate this further and see if the motor is winding to the mechanical limit. |

Great to hear you got it sorted, and interesting on the re-calibration of the seat via the GAP tool. |
