Steering Wheels

[coullstar 2]

I have to admit that the standard VR wheel is a bit like a bus wheel so I am looking alternatives. Looking for something a bit smaller and chunkier.

What do you have? Feel free to post pics.

Also I take it you have to get the airbag disabled to fit a new wheel. How is this done and can you keep the passenger one activated?

i'm fortunate that mine has the early, pre-airbag, 'rado type wheel as standard (as its an early car)....its quite small and really chunky!

thats only been put back on as i'm selling the car, i did have a momo millenium on it.

If you're not that 'fortunate' removing the airbag is a piece of cake.... with the ignition off undo the 2 allen bolts at the back of the steering wheel and remove the airbag, unplugging it as you do... passenger one will still work (trust me I know!)

The airbag light will stay on unless you plug a resistor in where the airbag was to fool the ecu into thining its still there

I've got an Isotta wheel and chrome boss... not that clear in the photo though

Binliner, what size resistor and where exactly should it go?

Also, what gearknob is that you have?

u can buy the resistors from awesome gti for a tenner and they plug straight into where the steering wheel plugged in.

what he said... trust me it'll all be very clear when you come to do it

Gearknob and surround is from an S3
