i fancy a smaller 3 spoke one to replace my slightly ageing big 4 spoke one and looking on ebay theres a couple going for about the

A 'good' price to pay would be nowt, silly

Steer clear!!

Remember to check whether or not your current airbag will be suitable. Steering wheel airbags cost circa £415.

:eek:

does anyone know if an A3/S3 steering wheel/airbag will fit the octavia??

Doesn't fit, the splines are different. If you want a 3 spoke wheel then look for one from a Golf/Bora or Octy/Fabia vRS.

sod it, can you not get an adapter?

Slightly off-topic, but my retrimmer reckoned he would quote £200 to put a leather cover on an existing steering wheel because it was such a pig of a job to do.

can you not swap the boss over from one wheel to the other?

No

bugger :(

Unfortunately on VAG wheels it's part of the wheel construction rather than a seperate part.

I can highly recommend the R32 wheel but it ain't cheap.

There must be plenty out there Bengie, how about a Fabia vRS one?

been looking for a little while now, no skoda ones about on ebay and not many VW ones and they are going for £100+ with airbag hence my original question, how much should you pay

I bought a leather L&K one for £60, about £140 new. The existing centre & air bag will fit it. OK its still 4 spoke but I actually like that wheel having driven many thousands of miles with one in the L&K. & you retain the Skoda badge, another plus

£50 including postage for my leather 4 spoker out of a Passat/Fabia. Tis a little big though, time will tell whether its too big!

The 3 spoke airbags typically go for £100-150 I found VW specialist breakers were cheaper generally than ebay.
