Title: dsg question
Post by: vangoo on February 07, 2011, 06:14:42 pm

Hi guys

I and looking at a golf with dsg box but no paddles on the wheel can
these be added later or is it a case of a new wheel.

If any one has done it i would like to know how easy it is and a rough cost

Cheers Gary

Not sure how easy it would be likely a new wheel and since I would assume it is not multi-function so you might also need a new controler and airbag harness, pretty much like the guys who want to fit MFSW to manual cars plenty of threads on it.  I will be selling a DSG wheel off of an R36 in the near future if you decide to go for it.
