Squeaky seat!

Postby Ceefer » Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:52 am

TC has now done 1300 miles and all is well except for a squeaky drivers seat. It only squeaks when I push a pedal (no it's not the pedals) so I'm thinking it must be the seat base and not the seat back.

Has this proble occurred with anyone else? If so what cured it?
If you love something set it free. If is doesn't come back, hunt it down and shoot it!

Mine has the same mileage and occasional squeaks as well I've not found a cure though :(
I have also noticed that the seat base some times shifts A little to either side around some bends.

I took it back to the dealer on Friday and asked them to look at the seat.

They tightened up the frame bolts and it seems to have cured it!

They didn't chanrge me and they lent me a KA which I used for a round trip to Portsmouth (120) miles so I reckon I've saved £15 in Diesel.

Finger crossed the seat stays quiet now.

Check the seatbelt. If you can hear it squeak while you're driving, disconnect your seatbelt and see if it stops, if so there's a problem with the seatbelt socket where the red button is.

I am a brit living in France, got a 2014 model, and my drivers seat creaks exactly the same. There is an annoying rattle above the passenger door and my Sync radio has been back to garage 4 times as it doesn't work, no bluetooth hands free.now they dont know what to do and won't change the radio even though its less than a year old. Wish I'd never bought the damn thing, should have stuck to Citroen!
Sync radio is temporary fixed by pulling the fuse (no 37 under the dashboard) took seat out and oiled everything underneath. lets see, something above the door still rattles.... I hate this van... but god I do love it too!!

Exactly the same thing. WD40 in the seat belt socket and around it...

I could have sworn it was the clutch pedal etc
