Hi All,

I have a 2005 2.0TDI Sportback sport....

In my wisdom, when I first purchased the car several months ago, I tried my hand at a little DIY upgrade to my steering wheel, which has left a small hole it the leather.:zx11:

Apart from ebay, does anyone know of any goo parts places near birmingham in the West Mids, which could fit a new steering wheel?

Also, I would like to get one with the multifunction controls...my current steering wheel does not have any - could anyone advise whether the wiring is already there, or are we taking a big job??

To summarise:

1 - Sourcing steering wheel near to Stourbridge/Birmingham
2 - Is wiring already in place if swapping for a multifunction steering wheel.

Many Thanks,

Matt (carty80)

this guy is from london, but travels if you pay him.

Does other genuine aftermarket fits. Personally i have never used him. I would like an multi-function steering wheel but would worry about tampering with the airbag. But according to lots of other forums, people have used him and say he is ex-vw. (but fits audi also)

Thanks for your reply. I'll let you know how I get on.

I have found out since that the wiring is not in place, therefore additional work is needed. Sounds expensive!!

Thanks again,

Matt
