BogMonster Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I don't think this should happen! Not sure what regulates the temperature though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 A friend of ours had that on her Disco 2 just before xmas, it wrecked the leather seats and melted her fleece, she was lucky to not get burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast5680 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 had this on a friends the metal conductors or whatever they are in the heater part of the seat break and then you get a hot spot its an overlay that sticks to the foam of the seat, you can replace them but its a fiddly pain of a job taking the seat to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 No direct experience with a D2 installation, but from 38A and Volvo experience, there is a thermal switch in the seat, which is supposed to open when the seat gets too hot. It sounds as those these are failing. Get a Dealer quote by all means, but it might be worth making an insurance claim, especially if there is clothing to replace, as well as the seat covering and heater element. I'd say it was an accident, not fair wear and tear, so similar in principle to an underbonnet fire. Is your NCB protected? Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
