Title: Steering Wheel Options??
Post by: Grande_GTi on July 01, 2014, 09:28:48 am

Hi Guys

Looking for a bit of help really

I want to replace my current steering wheel in my car as its starting to look a little tired.

Looking for suggestion of what Steering wheel options we have, Im not interested in the aftermarket route, more interested in the OEM+ gear

Thanks in advance

Ricky

^^^^ You'll need the wheel, a new controller and wee bit of coding and possible a latter revision CC stalk if yours is the older revision (don't ask me which is which).

version A and F are the old versions and will not work with MK6 wheel as you said

version G is the one you want (if buying new only this is available now)

Those later wheels look like they give so much more grip and confidence. They also look better.
