i have been searching high and low for a GTi leather steering wheel and have finally been able to source one from parts gateway.

cost me £41.42 (inc VAT & p&p) so aint too bad, just need to put it on now, i have a rough idea how, but can anyone on here confirm.

First you need to disconnect the battery to disarms the airbag..
I've heard varying time to do this, from 20 minutes to 2 hours. ( I'm not sure)

Behind the rear of the steering wheel is two holes, with star bolts in them. removed those and this should release the horn/airbag cover.

Remove the air bag.
remove the bolt from the centre of the wheel.
replace wheel.

Fit back together..


I've not done mine yet...
Still plucking up the courage to do it...
