Default Premium Plus Front Seat Leather Wear?

Hi,

I purchased my A6 in September last year and have been in love with it ever since. I like to think of it as the best car I've ever owned. This past week, I noticed what looks like wear around the seam on the bottom cushion of my front passenger seats, but these are not the wrinkling effect on the Prestige seats with perforation, just the regular, non-Comfort Seats. I myself am not very heavy, and dont wear dirty or abrasive clothing, mostly shorts or dress pants. The past 4 cars I have owned, one of which was a Benz (with MbTex though), did not have this problem and all had leather seats. Didn't want to notify the dealer just yet before getting some opinions on here first.

Got a call back from my dealer. The front passenger And drivers seat bottom cushions are to be replaced. They are coming from the factory and will be here in a few weeks.

My SA said he had never seen that before and had no general idea about what could have caused it.

Default It's Back...

They're back with the odd smoothing and now its been about 6k miles since they were replaced. Calling the dealer Monday.

I have the same color interior with the exact same issue. Was there by chance any satisfactory resolution?

I have the same (same Premium+ seats), bought the car last year and starting developing quickly after. Haven't addressed it with the dealer yet as I had other issues but will do so at my next service (35k).

I had the same problem on the passenger cushion when I purchased my CPO with 6,600 miles on it. Showed the service manager and new covers were ordered from the factory. The cover was replaced and still looks good.

Brought the car into the dealer. They saw the issue, took some pictures and the Service Manager said he would get back to me a few days.
