Has enyone tried to stop the passenger seat in there cos from winding the back down on its own under acceleration?
It doesn't happen if you have someone in the seat but when empty it winds its self flat and has happened to all the cosworths i have owned.
Not really a problem but if like me you give your car hard use when only you are in it and then go home or pick up a passenger its a bit of a joke when they ask who you had in the car last, and as for the wife believing that it winds its self down on its own. Well i am sure we all recognise that look
Any ideas

 

Dunno about passenger seat but my drivers seat winds itself down, have to wind it up a bit maybe every week or two.

 

yep i have the same problem with my seats.. and i have at sierra with leather and one cosworth with normal greay seats and theay do the same.. i wonder if its not just ekstra luxus things cosworth have

 

yer mine to, both of them do but only after a week or so.

 

yep mines does it as well as my s2 escort turbo......missus aint convinced by my excusses either lol

 

Yep mine as well

 

Mine always asks if i've had my other girlfriend in there

 

Its not just cossie's its all Recaro seats as both my Rs Turbo's did it my 3dr did it and my Golf Gti does it aswell

 

Ok guys we seem to agree that they all do it, but has anyone tried to cure the prob ....
Mind you could this make the wife/ girlfriend/ partner or pet (i think i covered every preference and if i didn't i don't want to know Ha Ha) even more suspicious as the seats suddenly stoped there misterious reclining

 

im obviously not pressing the throttle hard enough , ive never noticed my Recaro,s doing this.
Gonna go for a thrash in a min to see,ha ha .

Hmm, intersting guys.
Mines never done it and I've not come across anyone in New Zealand whose RS's have done it either.
There's only about 50 of us over here though

 

Mine also,but only the passenger seat when it's empty
Maybe also the driver seat when it's empty,but i don't wanna test that

 

christ i opened this thinking it must be a one off problem

never happened to me on 4 RS's

 

It has happened to the RS`s i`ve owned too. One of Ford`s hitech features

my drivers seat does it all the time, i spend half my time trying to get comfy then the next day i have do it all again
