Fitting is not an issue.
2007 ED30.
Thanks.

The first one is the stalk i fitted to mine. The second one is the kit which includes the wire that you dont need.
I paid around £54 from a dealer for the stalk. Just order 1K0 953 513G 9B9

Thanks I shall do that!

Gents, I keep saying this but there really is no need to buy this from eBay, use your dealers for this part. You aren't saving money, there are some rogue used parts around on the bay and finally a part from a dealer will carry a warranty.
As for not needing a wire, some will need it and unless you know you don't need it - car normally 2006 onwards - then I advise getting it.

Is that £54 + Vat as my mate has just quoted me £56 + Vat?
For the record the one on ebay was from a Skoda Main Dealer.
It may be cheaper as well if its +Vat.

It probably was +vat now i think about it. I didn't buy my stalk off ebay.

Is it the same part number (1K0 953 513G 9B9) for all mkV's, regardless of age or engine?

It is now yes, but as above older cars will need 'the wire' which is only included with a full kit.

I know but it isn't any cheaper and you can't take it straight back if you have a problem. Equally, you should try to support your local dealer a little bit, you'll be taking your car to the Skoda dealer selling everyone their parts on eBay when the VW dealer is closed down!! :evilgrin:

I know what your saying but I would get it through my mate anyway who deals with, not sure is it TCS?
Don't want to get into the argument of supporting dealer but I do agree a little as parts always seem to be the same price from them as on eBay and other places.
Thanks for the help anyway.

Find / ask vRStu!
Took us longer to disconnect the battery than it did for Stu to take old stalk out, new stalk in + coding!
Top man!

Hi, So if you just buy the stalk is that all I would need to have cruise control mines a May 2007? :smiley: :smiley:.I know it would need code setting.

Assuming your car has the correct steering controller then you'll be ok. Some earlier cars need an additional wire to be fitted anf for this reason I recommend buying the retrofit kit over a stalk on it's own.

I don't know of any online guides tbh. There is a set of instructions in the kit and there are plenty of people here who know how to do it.

Not got the kit just the stalk.
Anybody have some and want to scan them?

The instruction that come with the kit makes references to Elsawin workskop manual. And most of the other covers the fitting of the wire
