removing lumbar mechanism
 

I need help on how to remove the seatback panel on my 2014 A6 TDI premium plus. I cant get comfortable, seat hard as a rock. I want to get into seat and remove lumbar if I can.Thanks for your help.

Is the lumbar 4-way adjustment working or stuck in a position you find uncomfortable?

I think it works fine, but even retracted all the way in I can feel it. feels hard in my back, very uncomfortable. I'm trying to find out how to remove back panel of seat so I can get in there and see if I can remove it. Dealers dont want to touch this issue. Short of fixxing seat, Ill need to sell car. Hope I dont have to do that as seat comfort is my only issue. Maybe I should have bought the Prestige for the comfort seat. thanks for reply

There are several vendors who are parting out C7 A6's. I was searching for a seat auction and came across this one for just the lumbar support ($492 shipped). The picture with the listing is an exploded view of the seat.

Your choices as I see them are:

1. to take the seat apart and remove the support
2. replace the seat with a eBay salvaged seat
3. take it to a automotive upholstery shop and have them show you how to take the seat apart
4. take it to a automotive upholstery shop and have them replace the support with something softer.

I'm looking to do the same thing. I think the back of the seat just pops off but haven't had the time to try it. In the meantime I put a small pillow at the bottom of the seat back. Works OK. It sounds like the opposite thing to do but for some reason it feels more comfortable when you lean back.
