2013 Jetta Volkswagen Sport wagon right front seat don't recline
Did you check the fuses before you started taking your vehicle apart? Sometimes it is a simple fix and not a major job. On a 2013 model it is unlikely to be the seat motor as the motor isn't worked hard, (like a starter motor), so they tend to be reliable and can last the life of the car. Have any other features stopped working, things like the heated seats if they are fitted? This can suggest it is a fuse as some features share a fuse.
There will be a motor in the seat, however, it is likely to be built into the actual frame of the seat so it may be positioned behind an area of fabric. The tilt motor will be directly connected to the pivot the seat tilts on. Check in the lower section of the seat back and the rear edge of the seat base. The motor itself won't be very big. It will be about the size of the cardboard tube in the middle of a toilet roll.
