I've interchanged Scirocco, Rabbit, Corrado, Golf, Pickup, and Jetta front seats from the A1 and A2 generations freely. However, I ran into a compatibility difference with the A3s I've owned. I did not like the A3 seats and tried to put in some of the more comfortable seats from an A2 and found the bases for the A3 were wider and incompatible with the older seats. I don't know if this is the case with the A4s but in similar fashion, I've not found a desireable set of front seats from the later cars. GLis and Corrados are my favorite source for front seats followed closely by 16V Sciroccos. They are available, rebuildable, and inexpensive compared to aftermarket seats for my cars.
A compatibilty chart would be a nice knowledgebase item. It would be nice to know which models have the desireable seats. That way I know what to look for in the salvage yards.

Anyone know where I can find that again?
