Title: you guys may be able to help me with a steering wheel question
Post by: plush-automotive on September 06, 2010, 08:27:50 am

I have one of the mk 6/scirroco wheels no MF no DSG.

Does anyone know if i would be able to add dsg paddles to this sterring wheel (i dont want them to work a  dsg gear box) i just want to know if you can buy the paddles and how they fit to the actual wheel really, as i have never seen one so need a little help if poss. Pics answer anything to give me the heads up. :smiley:

If the steering wheel is just a standard non mf paddle one then no it can not be retro fit,  on the wheel with paddles there is a big square hole either side at the back of the wheel so the paddle can fit in,  I took them out of my last mk5 gti wheel and it just left 2 big holes.  So I would presume without totally butchering the wheel you cannot fit them.

A man of your skills could make it fit with a sharp chisel Luke, but it wont be easy. Good luck.  :drinking:
