Hi kinda random but I recently bought a passenger seat for my Sim racing set up and I cut a tube and oil started leaking out of it. I can't find anything online as to what it is.

Is it just for the heated seats?

Thanks in advance

 

is the seat from an actual vehicle then repurposed for e-racing? if so what car?

i imagine you bought a passenger seat for the drivers seat in the sim right? bc having a passenger seat AND a driver seat in a sim rig is odd haha!

 

sorry it is from a is250 and yes its just the driver seat for my rig lol

 

Apparently I'm the first to experience this because there's nothing online and no one knows anything 🤣🤷‍♂️

 

Is not that no one knows anything, is that you haven’t described anything properly.

 

I agree more details are needed.

 

Lol idk how else to "properly" explain.. literally a plastic container under where your *** would be full of oil connected to a tube and sensor..

So yes pretty sure no one knows what it's for.

I'll just tell myself it's for the heated seat/comfort lol

 

Could be part of an occupancy sensor.

 

yeah I was thinking that too actually. It was connected to a sensor.

I just put a screw in it hasn't leaked yet lol. Such a weird experience

 

Ya, Pascals Law running a sensor for the airbag is possible.

 

yeah that makes sense. I guess I should of picked another seat haha 😅

 

occupancy sensor sounds right! i honestly never knew it was a bladder rather than a fluidless pressure switch:
