Title: DSG Steering Wheel Into A Manual Car?
Post by: GT_SPORT on September 18, 2012, 04:19:41 pm: Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to retrofit a DSG edition 30 steerting wheen into a manual 1.9 tdi golf?

If it is possible to fit and code it in, will I need any additional parts in order to make it work?

Any help will be appreciated.

... as a steering wheel.

It definitely won't turn your manual into a DSG.

:sad:

:signLOL: I wish I could turn it into a DSG!

So the answer to my orignal question is a yes, I can fit it in.

If I only wanted to fit the wheel for cosmetic reasons as it looks better, would i still reuqire the additional parts or would a new loom suffice?

My car is a 1.9 TDI 2005 (55).

At present I had mid line display and no multi function with the standard 3 spoke wheel.
