Anybody know how easy it is to fit a scirocco wheel ?

Post by neilGTI »

I am looking at maybe getting a new scirocco steering wheel like the one below:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-VI-GTI-Sc ... 2563wt_989

Does anybody know if this will be a direct replacement or not please.

I read somewhere that the ABS ring may need changing to a MK4 golf one but it means nothing to me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It wont fit im afraid

The spline on the steering wheel is a different size on the golfs to what the polo is from the mk4 onwards

Interesting indeed. Did the airbag plug in ok?

They mustve changed the spline size again then! 8)

The airbag involved making a new loom up as the plug was different, found some really good instructions on the mk4 golf forum :)

Pictures of wheel fitted are just about to be added to my WIP thread
