New Steeringwheel.....Bummed out!!!

**redlabel81** · 10-01-2008 06:44 AM

Got my new steeringwheel....It came from a A3 Sline..Fell in love with it right away.....Started the mounting and it turns out the Airbag on the A4 doens't fit the A3 steeringwheel. It's to big!
I have a 3 spoked steeringwheel today and the sellers informed me it would fit A3\A4\A6.
The wheel:

The wheel I have today:

Also got this errorcode after I had the airbag disconnected...(With battery disconnected).
01826 - Sensor for Steering Angle (G85); Supply Voltage Terminal 30
Anyone with any input on this?

I like that A3 steering wheel. Sorry to hear you're having problems with it. Hope you can get it worked out.

i'm pretty sure the seller meant that it would work for an a3/a4/a6 if you buy the appropriate ring (i think it's called a self-cancelling ring) and the airbag to go with it.

It doesn't necessarily mean the airbag piece can be swapped between the different steering wheels.

nice wheel. I think it'll look great if you get this sorted out.

You don't have radio controls on either. That sucks! I've learned to depend on my steering wheel controls.

He didn't have them on his previous steering wheel either.

I have them and I hardly ever use them. I use the radio controls themselves more often. I don't know why either...

Return it for the RS4 or TT flat bottom wheel.

the speedo is in KM's, so that's probably 78,000 km, which is roughly 49k miles

Looking at locations ftw......he's in Norway.

Looks like I 'll have to put this up for sale on the A3 forum.
I have to get a new airbag to make this work.
Sucks ass!! I really like the steeringwheel.
What would the TT sw run me?
And yes it is km.........:)
