If I have and you can see the photo then wheel that was delivered today is sat on the garage floor next to it is my original airbag my airbag I quite round on the top edge the one for the wheel is more like a mo 5 sort of curved if that makes any sense

Post by: SI-R32 on October 14, 2015, 10:30:26 pm: That air bag is for the sports flat bottomed steering wheel, the steering wheel you have is the standard wheel which needs the standard airbag

Here are the 2 different wheels and bags

Which is a kinda sports wheel, your newly delivered wheel is the basic mk6 wheel sadly has different bag. Do you have mk5

Post by: CRAZY CATH on October 14, 2015, 11:00:10 pm: Yes very similar but plastic not leather or perforated?

Post by: SI-R32 on October 14, 2015, 11:03:40 pm: Well the wheel you have isn't right then, you'll either need another wheel or send your one back

Never noticed that before!

Post by: SI-R32 on October 14, 2015, 11:11:58 pm: I only found out a few years back as I tried to swap my airbag with a newer one on a hire car and realised they were different
Title: Re: Mfsw
Post by: CRAZY CATH on October 14, 2015, 11:14:30 pm: Do you think I am better trying to find the right airbag for one of the wheels I have bought
Try to return both wheels and look for one complete
Or as my airbag is the same a a golf gtd trying to sell my airbag then buy a complete one
They seem more difficult to find complete?

Post by: SI-R32 on October 15, 2015, 10:43:35 am: What you trying to do just update your mk5 wheel with no multifunction?

How much you wanna spend?
