Hey everyone,
new to this site, and am trying to fix a friends s4. He has had flooding from a hole in the firewall, the whole floor is soaked and the computer for the triptronic has gotten wet sending it into limp mode. I have to get the front drivers seat out, but the seats motor to move back and forth is fried (probably from water)
I have tried to jump it from the connector with 12v, the only motor that works is the closest one to front which is for seat to go up and down. the motor in the middle just makes a click noise, an the one a little behind that does absolutely nothing.
I need to get this seat out, is there anyway to manually move it back? it just has to go back about 2 inches so I can get at the torx.

Hey there, not much of a mechanical guy so can't help you with your case, but I do have an almost identical issue with my Q7. Water has been leaking in through the sunroof panel (apparently common issue with Q7s) for quite a long time now, I know I should have taken it seriously much earlier. Just all of a sudden last week, my front passenger seat also stopped working (all power functions). My mechanic said the issue is with the motors under the floor, and I was a little paranoid wondering if the mechanic was trying to rip me off. I guess he is right then, he sent the motors to be looked at.
