How to Remove the Seat of the New Passat?

The method to remove the seat of the New Passat: The rear backrest of the New Passat seat usually has a handle or loop at the top. Pull it to separate it from the steel plate at the back, then remove it. After that, pull the seat backward, and you will see a protruding part with a screw on it. Remove the screw, and the seat can be taken off. The New Passat is a mid-size car from SAIC Volkswagen, equipped with a 1.4t 150hp L4 engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine has a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. The New Passat has a body length, width, and height of 4933mm, 1836mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a top speed of 210km/h.
I've removed the Passat seats myself a few times, and it doesn't seem that difficult. You'll need a socket wrench and a Phillips screwdriver. First, adjust the seat to its foremost or rearmost position for easier access. There are screws at all four corners of the seat rail base—use the socket wrench to remove them one by one and keep them safe so they don't get lost. Note that some models have electrical wiring harnesses connected, such as plugs for seat heating or airbags—remember to gently press the clips to disconnect them. Throughout the process, handle the seat carefully to avoid scratching the interior. I removed it mainly to clean dust buildup in the rails and replace a damaged seat cover. After removal, it's best to check the lubrication condition of the slide rails and apply special grease to prevent noise after reassembly. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. For first-timers, I recommend starting with the passenger seat for practice.
