As title,

I fancy something a little meatier than my standard (55 plate vrs) one.

What do you guys have? Or what would you recommend?

Golf MkV GTi multi-function flat bottom

Vcds to programme it or is it a straight swap? I've got no maxidot or anything like that and I'll be swapping the stream unit for aftermarket.

I've got DSG, so the wheel is flappy paddle too

 

The original was a non-multi function, so it took a new steering wheel controller, slip ring and airbag loom..........I can't remember what all the part numbers are now unfortunately, but it all works  

Does look nice, no dsg here so no need for flappy paddles

Here's mine:

 

 

Golf VI GTI Steering wheel. Not so cool as Brimma's because no Gold in the picture...

Do they do it without the flappy paddles?

Nice, and with a Skoda badge, I decided not to go that far

The one pictured above would appear to be, looks like a manual gear lever

 

Have a search on German ebay to see what might be about

Flicked through uk eBay.........damn expensive these!

Mine's with flappy paddles. The ones without them are more rare than the ones with them, if you look for multifunction equipped wheels.

Still expensive in Germany

What bits do I need other than the wheel or are they a straight swap?

Not to mention that they do not send them abroad if it has Airbag in it. I had to purchase mine from ebay.co.uk for that reason...

It all depends what you've already got

 

I had a lot of assistance from the person who fitted mine

 

Your best point of contact is Eddie-NL

Some tips if you want to setup a Golf VI Multifunction steering wheel:

 

 

- Check steering ring, you need to have "C" ended reference if you have a pre-facelift model (just pull steering cover to check or via VCDS)

 

- Get a new Steering Control Unit, "CH" or "CD" are valid ones

 

- Steering wheel with MF buttons

 

- Airbag

 

- Steering wheel cable (you need a new one, because it connects MF + AIRBAG to ring)

 

-> Code new unit to tell you have a Multifunction with or without paddles

-> Adjust Steering angle sensor G85 following ross-tech alignment procedure, If you removed the ring.

 

 

Seems difficult, but It takes less than 1 hour.
