Seat Air Leak

Have got an air leak in the driver’s seat. Have traced it to a hose going to the air bag that needs replacing. The problem is the hose seems to be too soft/rubbery to use push-fit fittings on and is attached to the air bag by being heat shrunk on.
Anyone fixed this kind of leak successfully without new parts from the seat manufacturer - it’s an Isringhausen.

I’ve done mine can’t exactly remember what ,but I would of used air pipe or the oil autolube type pipe and hot water or a lighter to do a great bodge repair . Sorry I can’t be more help until I lift the seat base for a look then spend half day trying to put it back :open_mouth:

Yeah, I’ve heaved it in and out twice today trying to bodge it with tape and scratched the floor. It’s not ■■■■■■■ out air now but still leaking enough to be annoying and the height to keep fidgeting a bit. I’m not sure how it’s split suddenly I guess just fatigue from constant flexing. I’m not confident to cut it or remove it because I can foresee not being able to get an airtight fit again.

Might just tape it then put a big wob of Tigerseal or Sikaflex round it as a last roll of the dice before pulling it apart past the point of no return.
