Anyone else got this? Only seems to happend while accelerating from stationary or braking.

Seems to come from the lower back part of the driver's seat. Any solutions?

Eggz,

Using the switches beside the seat, I lifted it to the max. On all the joints below the seat, I treat it with WD-40. It worked for mine. Give it a try

Should we be doing this on a car that costs over SGD 200K? Eggz, consider the meeting at PML. This is just one of the many problems that you can highlight.

I remember I highlighted some problems to RF during our last meet and he arranged to have them fixed the very next meet.

My seats make quite a bit of noise when the side bolsters are moving into position at start-up. Other than that, everything is quiet. 17,000 miles.

Just a thought; I had creaks on acceleration and braking, drove me mad.....I was CERTAIN it was the passenger seat. ( 535d sport with comfort seats )

Into the dealer, who told me it was the door card ( the panel that holds the armwrest etc etc ) creaking, not the seat, and that it was quite a common problem - he fixed it quite quickly and the problem hasn't come back.

Check you e-mail. I sent out a msg re this to all our members last week and got only 2 responses. Olivin is keen; my friend Sam is also. Don't know about the others though.
