Folks - I have been looking into the head and block part codes on the UR that I would like to buy and something worries me. The codes appear to be from a non turbo Audi 100 circa '83.

Alternative seats - front and rear - for UR

Are there any direct (or recommended) replacement front and rear seats that would work in the UR? Something from another VAG model or indeed an aftermarket item (at least for the front)?
