Broken driver's lumbar on 2018 GTI

[VWIGTI1111]

Good afternoon! The driver's lumbar on my 2018 GTI is broken. If I move the handle, nothing happens. Is there any way I could make it work again? TY!

Lumbar mechanisms are tricky. If the handle moves but there’s no response, it’s likely a broken cable or internal part. If you’re handy, you could try removing the seat back and inspecting the mechanism, there are some decent guides online. Otherwise, a dealer might be the quickest solution, though they’ll likely charge for it.

Yeah, the lumbar support mechanism might have a broken cable or motor. You could try removing the seat cover to inspect for any loose parts, or consult a repair shop for a fix...
