Squeaking seat in Mondeo Titanium MD

[asteele-xr6]

Howdy,

My 5 month old 10,000km Mondeo Titanium MD has developed a tedious squeaky drivers seat, with the noise coming closest to the corner the seat belt buckle.

Curiously if I moved the seat to the forward most position, the noise goes away - but I can't drive with my knees like that and need the seat to be a long way back!

I have tried peering under the seat with a torch etc, and I can see a lot going on and more cables than I have ever seen in a PC! - but its impossible to identify what the squeak is coming from.


Has anyone please seen a simple guide on how to expose more of the seat so I can get a deeper look?


If the leather padding can be made to come away, that might help.


Thanks!

My previous MD Titanium Wagon had exactly the same. Took it to the dealers multiple times to no avail. I solved the problem though, it appeared that I had the seat down as low as it could go, so what I did was bring it up one easy notch up and the squeak disappeared. So maybe just try playing around with your seat base / back settings...

Wow, that's brilliant - thank you very much!

Yes, that was all I needed to do... raise the seat by 1mm and the problem went away.

To think how close I was to buggering up the seat by trying to take it apart!


Thanks again.

My Ambiente has this as well
