I need to know how to remove my steering wheel in my 2001 mk1 Octavia vrs

Are you selling it????

;-)

Yes

Disconnect the battery and leave for 10/15 mins, you will find 2 bolts behind that hold the airbag on, lift off and unplug, then unbolt the steering wheel.

There is no bolts there is two holes but no bolts the are two silver loops in the hole that's it

You'll need a thinnish screwdriver to poke through the two little holes at the rear of the steering wheel.

Stick the screwdriver in a wiggle it around until you find the clips that hold the airbag to the steering wheel.

It will be frustrating 1st time you do, so persevere.

Once the airbag is released you need to unplug the airbag and horn connectors.

There is a single central spline drive (VAG specific) that'll then need to be undone.

Nothing special about the screw - it's a standard M12 spline.

It must be the shaft length of my spline drive bit which is specific for something or other

The airbag is now off steering wheel just need spline tool but halfords don't have them does any one now were else might have them

GSF is where I got mine

Mine came in a pack made by Draper - M8 & M12 bits with a 10mm hex to 1/2" square drive adapter.

Halfords have a 1/2" set on a rail
