   I thought about changing my seats for the half leather gti seats , doe's anyone know if the seats come with the pre tensioner fitted to them ? and would this connect up to the existing saxo vtr set up ?
   cheers all

   I fitted them seats to a saxo west coast. they do have the pretensioner on them. But I had to take the pretensioners off the original saxo seats and fit them to the gti seats. (There exactly the same) I think that the gti seats must have been in an accident prior to me purchasing them, and that the pretensioner bottles had been trigered. Reason I say this, is when the gti seats were fitted, the air bag warning light was activated. After swapping the gas bottles the air bag light went off.

   They do fit straight in, i think the saxo westcoast plugs are different than a 106, might need to solder the wires togethor or crimp
