Re: Changing steering wheels
Both 9N3 wheels, should fit.
Just needs a reset of adres 15 probably after fitting.

Re: Changing steering wheels
bear with me sorry,
so I’m assuming the one locking mechanism on the older wheel will work fine without using the other
but what about the extra cable on the older wheel, is leaving it loose not going to give me any problems?
and what is a reset of adres 15, I’m not too caught up with electronics in cars

Re: Changing steering wheels
the connector is the same
you might get an error light for the airbag, the airbag module is known as module 15, that's the digital address of the airbag module

Re: Changing steering wheels
right, cheers
I don’t have a vag com cable, would a simple “clear fault codes” on my obd scanner get rid of the light in case it pops up?

Probably. If you don't turn the key on while airbag is removed, I think it won't even be necessary

Re: Changing steering wheels
Incase anyone is interested the steering wheel change is super easy and makes the inside look so much better, as long as you disconnect the battery you should have no problems
here’s the before and after
