This may be a bit of an unusual request, but I'd need help with pictures of A3 steering wheels with the airbag removed, and also of the rear side of the airbag itself. These would need to be from the basic steering wheels without any multi-function buttons or DSG paddles.
The reason I am asking this is that it seems that Audi has at some point (apparently around Jun/05) changed the airbag design. I've got a Jan/05 build, so I have the older model. However, I've recently got my hands on a newer multi-function steering wheel, which I'd like to upgrade to, but unfortunately my old airbag doesn't fit. Buying a new airbag would be way too expensive, so I've been wondering if I could swap my old S-line sport steering wheel + airbag with someone who has just a basic steering wheel (but newer). To be able to offer this, I would ofcourse need to first know if the newer airbags all have the same design, or is it only these "advanced" models.
So if you happen to have a late 05 or newer A3, have a basic steering wheel (3- or 4-spoke does not matter), and have (or would be able to take) pictures of the inside of the steering wheel with the airbag removed, this would help *a lot*. Writing down the part numbers at the same time would be of additional help.
Thanks!
