Audi VW Power Seat Switch - Genuine Audi VW 8W0959747A

Product Information

A power seat switch is an electrical switch that allows the driver or passenger to adjust the position of the power seats in a vehicle. It controls the movement of the seat forward, backward, up, down, and sometimes reclining or tilting. Common failure symptoms include the seat not moving at all, moving slowly, or stopping unexpectedly when the switch is held down.

• Seat doesn't move: The most obvious sign is when the seat fails to respond to any switch input.
• Slow or jerky movements: The seat may move very slowly, or the movement may be erratic and not smooth.
• Seat stops mid-adjustment: The seat may move initially but then stop moving, even while the switch is still being pressed.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
