Alfred,

I'm no authority on this but have changed seats on my 82 Scirocco which I
no longer own.  Memory no longer serves on this one but look at the sliding
mechanism closely.  I remember it being far easier to take the seat out
than put the new ones in but the job really doesn't take that long.  There
is a spring which has to be in a certain position to install the new
seat--that was the real pain.  As far as whether the seats between
different VW's are compatible, I would guess that they are to some extent. 
On A1 bodied cars, I think they're all interchangeable, perhaps also on the
A2.  When it comes to the A3 seats, I have absolutely no idea!  As soon as
you finish the job, you'll consider yourself an expert, I remember that
much.  Good luck!
