Markus: yup, they do fit (with some minor mods as I recall) but if you have the seat swivels like in the campers, you might not want to go this route. The Audi seats are a good bit higher in the seat portion than the vanagon seats, and combine that with the extra height of the swivels, a friend who did this kept hitting his head on the roof and put them back. They might be fine in a non-swivel vanagon. As for the seats themselves, mmmmmmmmmm, very nice. Got a couple Audi's and they are indeed veeeery comfy. Wiring in the heaters would be easy. Wiring in electric adjustments (if the seat has them) would also be easy. But if you go to this effort, you'd undoubtedly want to put in the 4-position seat memory also, hmmmm?? That might be a bit tricky.... steve '85 westy 2 '86 Audi's with comfy seats kent, wa
