Do I have Leather
How can I tell if I have real leather seats on my 2003 A4 1.8T Q?
I looked up my options codes at http://www.audi-faq.ru/prnumbers/ In my maintenance guide I have a code of N1F / LF for my interior code That table list N1F = seat coverings in leather, G grain pattern/leatherette, B grain pattern Thanks. --Art |

Smart ass, I've never owned a vehicle with either leather or leatherette so I don't know how well the latter imitates the former. |

If it smells of dead cow, it's leather. You could always try dropping a fag end on it - if it melts it's 'leatherette'.

Is this "leatherette" an American thing, cos no Audi in the UK have this, are we talking about plastic seats? Surely the smell of Leather will give it away? |

It may not be advertised as 'leatherette', ISTR one of the Kraut makers fobs it off on unsuspecting punters as 'sport-tex' or 'sport cloth'. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark Lusso - Passat 1.8 Turbo SE - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
