seat heating need some steriods

[Curtiss]

Hi there,

Question: Are there any owners who tweaked or changed the seat-heat? Our previous car was a V70 with perfect seat heating, the ones in the DS3 are a little lame, so to speak. Anyone who did some action on that?

Thanks, regards GERT

Welecome to the club

I don't think of any of the UK Spec DS3's have seat heating so you'll need a response from a fellow EU DS3 owner

Welcome to the club

At least you get seat heating! UK owners don't have it as an option

Hmmm, you poor b... ;-) Didn ' t know that, thanks for the info.
Cheers

Not factory fitted but I've added surprisingly effective seat heating with a set of driver and passenger 12v seat covers. From memory they were about £20 off Amazon and well worth the money. Work better than some proper heated seats I've used in the past. Will try and find the link to the specific set when I get chance.

A good tin of refried beans is all you need for heated seats....

I just don't get the attraction of a hot back/sack/crack whilst driving

Seat heaters and cruise control are the 2 things I simply will not do without. If Citroen didn't offer them where I live I would not have purchased the car period

I'm with you on the cruise control cyclone

I don't get to use the cruise control much, because my DS3 doesn't see the open road very often. I wouldn't like to be without the speed limiter though. I keep it set on 31mph (approx 30mph true - as calibrated with my Garmin satnav) and switch it on and off as required.

I use the speed limiter a fair bit too, especially in average speed camera areas on the motorways

ugh.. they are starting to install those over here now too.

I'm a big fan of the speed limiter and it came in useful in France recently where I'm told there isn't the same 10% + 2 leniency as here.

These are the heated seats from Amazon - cheep and cheerful but look pretty good, go well with the interior and do the job very well:

We have several different types here cyclone The speed limiter is v useful for the extended (sometimes as much as 10 mile sections) of average speed monitoring. I also use it on the variable speed limited sections as well as it's v easy to adjust it up or down by 10mph for each section....
