205 GTi brakes and Seats

There are 2 handbrake cables, you will have broken one of them, and the other one is just managing to pull the brake on...

Sorry, I don't know of one. But you should be able to get some tatty, but solid seats from a breakers on the cheap and swap the runners.

What exactly is loose about them? The runners are secured to the floor with (6?) star-bit screws and the seats are inturn attached to the runners also with (4?) star bit screws. They may just need tighening (you can do it with an allen key if you dont have star bits).

I can't think of whate else would be loose with them? Unless the brackets themselves are broken, or the frame inside the bottom of the seat is cracked.

As for the handbrake.. that sounds a bit nasty, but I can't help there.

Is the seat rocking, or is it moving back and forth? In case of rocking, it's very likely that the screws have come loose. Had the same problem, already was looking for new seats, but tightening the screws solved it totally. (Still looking for new seats, though, 'cause they are worn)

If the frame was cracked, you would have sidewards rocking-like motion of the seat. if the brackets were broken, I guess the seat would slide back and forth. It might as well be the mechanism that holds the seat in the back position (that mechanism that lets you fold the seat forward for the dog to enter the rear seat :-).

Does the car tend to one side when applying the handbrake? Then it might well be that one cable is broken. But if you actually can turn the brake-lever beyond the 90° point, then it also might be something around the lever is broken. I replaced brake cables on mine, and even without cables could not move the brake lever very much past 45° angle from the floor. Might be worth it to take the cover off the lever and have a tight look at it.

Well, good luck!

Hi,

Thanks for the updates, i decided that i should pass the car to the garage to get the brakes sorted, and it turns out it was a cable... they have also sorted the seats out (don't know what that was though...)

Thanks again for the updates
