Volkswagen Touran Seat Replacement Parts

The first-generation Touran ran from 2003 to 2010, with a facelift around 2006 that brought minor styling updates inside and out. Seats within the pre-facelift (2003–2006) cars generally share the same architecture, as do seats within the post-facelift (2006–2010) cars, but whether a pre-facelift seat fits a post-facelift car is a boundary crossing you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. The engine in your car makes no difference to seat fitment.

These are from different generations — the first-gen Touran ran to 2010, while the second-generation Touran started in 2010 and ran through to around 2015. Seat mountings, rail profiles and wiring connectors can differ between generations, so a straight swap across that 2010 boundary is not something we can confirm here. Ask the breaker to check both your registration and the donor car's registration to confirm compatibility before you commit.

Trim level does matter for Touran seats because the style, upholstery and sometimes the seat frame or adjustment mechanism can vary between grades such as S, SE, SE Business, and Highline. A seat from a lower trim will physically mount in a higher-trim car in most cases, but it may look noticeably different and lack features like lumbar adjustment, heating elements or different bolstering, so factor in the cosmetic and functional mismatch. Confirm the exact trim of the donor seat with the breaker so you know what you are getting.

Yes, side matters — driver's (OS, offside, right-hand side) and passenger's (NS, nearside, left-hand side) seats are handed and are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker clearly which side you need, as seat frames, recline mechanisms and any side-impact airbag routing are specific to each side. Fitting a seat on the wrong side is not safe and the seat simply will not fit correctly.

Seat-mounted side airbags are safety-critical components: once deployed they are single-use only and must be replaced, and an undeployed used airbag module needs to be confirmed as compatible with your specific SRS system before fitting — this is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. We strongly recommend professional fitting for any seat containing an airbag or pretensioner seatbelt mechanism, as incorrect installation can cause the airbag to fail to deploy or to deploy unexpectedly. Do not fit a safety-critical seat component yourself unless you have the appropriate training and equipment.

The second-generation Touran ran from approximately 2010 to 2015, and the third generation launched in 2015, so a 2013 donor seat and a 2016 recipient car sit either side of a generation boundary. Seat fixings, rail designs and electrical connectors are likely to differ between these generations, making a direct swap uncertain. Check both registrations with the breaker before purchasing, as they will be able to cross-reference the part numbers to confirm whether it works.
