How to flip the backseat?

[haddock]

Hi all.

I'm sure this is a pretty silly situation i'm in at the moment.
I can't find out how to flip the backseat up in my DS3.

The backrest is no problem, but I can't flip up the part where you put your bottom.

Help please. :bow:

That is because it does not. Sorry

[WTF]

Yeah, all that you can do is lie the backs flat.

Arwh. What a shame. And I presume you can't just remove the bottom part without a small toolbox?

[WTF]

Yep

Think there are some photo's here of my first DS3 without them (its blocked at work so I can't see the pictures to verify)

Had a look at this a while ago, so memory might be playing tricks on me, but I think it might just be 2 torx bolts at the front of the seats to remove the base of the seat.

There are also 2 bolts at the back corners that are accessible from the boot in addition to the torx bolts below the front edge of the seat.

edt: If you drive without the seat bottom and hear a loud constant noise do not worry nothing is wrong it is just the fuel pump.

I remember wasting 10 mins trying to raise the bench seat when I first got the DS3, solved the problem by using my fiancee's Corsa for all tip runs (only right as it's a Vauxhall)
