Not long had obtained a 2005 Skoda Ambient Octavia Estate 2.0 Diesel..... 

 

Meanwhile the steering wheel feels like horrible plastic crap, is there a leather alternative?

 

Many thanks in advance

Yes there is.

Three options were / are available: standard rubbery plastic, leather or leather multifunction steering wheels.

Ambiente came with the first as standard. And the surface wears out after a while.

If you have a four spoke steering wheel now, your airbag will fit any if the above that are also four spoke.

If you go for a MFSW you'll also need a new steering controller and wiring loom as well as the wheel.

I've sent you a PM as well.

PS: Welcome to the forum.

@ KB, thank you for this information and for the pm... I have replied..
