C5 MK1 leather install

Post by KP »

I'm sure I have read on here of people doing this install into normal C5's.

I've got an exclusive and with leather interiors being so plentiful at the minute it seems worthwhile as would help my folks if they inherit it to slide my mum in and out.

Also can hatch and estate interiors be mixed like xantias could be or just a big no in c5's?!

As far as I know the leather interior plugs into the loom which is already there, though you had to add in a fuse to the fuse box.

Estates and hatches are different I think.

I have just finished doing one today. The seats came from an Exclusive hatch, I first fitted them into a 2.2 estate but I have just sold that so they are now in my 2.0.Hdi estate, it seems that all the dooors are the same.

The plugs are under the carpet but you will need a maxi fuse fitted to the underneath of the engine compartment fuse box.

For a car that has leather as standard, to add heated is it just a case of swapping the fronts for heated ones or is there still a fuse to add?

I think by its rating, (80a ?) the fuse is for the heated seats, but mine don't work :(

That is a surprise! In that case I could have had a set of leathers in my hatch as I found a nice set of estates. :shock:
