I currently have a pre fl 1.6mpi octavia with a very worn steering wheel can i fit the 3 spoke vrs one? Dont care about multifunction. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/321825291762

Yes you can. It is a straight swap.

You need special tool though. Xzn top to take off the steering wheel.

I have vrs steering wheel on non vrs octy. Swop in 5 min.you need short screwdriver and little mirror from your bird handbag to see better when you remove the airbag.

The airbag is included in the eBay item.

It is not necessary to disconnect the battery. Just don't turn the key when the airbag is disconnected. You will get an error that needs to be cleared afterwards.

By special tool I ment the xzn top/bit. Not all people have that in the toolbox.

Note taken!

No special tool needed at all. Short stubby screwdriver to release the hooks holding the airbag on, then a splined bit to remove the bolt holding the wheel itself on.

5 minutes of a job, but remember you will need to disconnect the battery to allow the airbag components to self discharge before removing the airbag from the wheel.

Also remember that a VRS 3 spoke wheel has a different shaped airbag unit to the standard 4 spoke wheel, so will need an airbag to match the new wheel.

Airbag is the same
