Captains swivel seat...noisy creaking sound

[captaincalamityclam]

When we swivel the seat around and sit in the seat if you fidget about or move a little it creaks pretty loudly, is this normal ?

Two (we) in seat not recommended ...get a bed!....WD 40 or KY?

[captaincalamityclam]

he he he.....eeek does sound a bit dodgy, honest guv I only meant me sitting in the seat

[Vanagonman]

It needs grease around the circular bit that is responsible for the turning.

[Molly Man]

...and on the seat?

[captaincalamityclam]

I haven't got a pole in the t3 yet....

What kind of grease is best to use, I have some old LM stuff will that do ?

[Molly Man]

...I think the answer on T25's is if it squeaks its working... if it stops it's fallen off! ...probably not your only squeak so try the WD 40 route
under the seat but keep it off the material!...good luck

[Molly Man]

....just came across these on Ebay...didn't even know they existed!...so could your squeak be rattle?.....

. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula. and was originally designed to repel water and prevent corrosion.

Lloyd I agree WD 40 is really for 'what it says on the tin' but it cures a lot of other things as well!..its like the elixior of life!...universal...omnipotent...
yeah..yeah..what a load of old rowlocks...but mysteriously it works!... and on squeaks

Works for a little while. There are much better lubricants in spay form then WD. WD is okay as a penetrant and short term lubricant, but by far not the best of either.

I thought mine was making a weird sound but only when someone was sat in it. Turned out to be the seat belt.

Genuine VW swivel bases have plastic glide pieces inside to make the seat move smoothly and prevent any wobble. Maybe yours are worn. Take your seat off the swivel then take the swivel apart.
