Well after a day trying to get the blo"dy thing to work i have taken it off again and had to get Audi's in Colchester to re code the module !! Even Audi's couldn't acsess the controller using Vagcom because the "Basic settings" would not activate for steering wheel so i ended up with no power assist !! Also i found that the part numbers of the new slip ring and controller i brought are the same as std fit to my 2004 A3 which again was Blo**dy annoying !! I also found that the original code for he std wheel was for a manual wheel without paddles and without cruise !! but the paddles worked and so did the cruise which makes a nonsense of the Vagcom codes. Having entered the correct code i just got controller not recognised.
Eventually i gave up. Didn't like the wheel when it was fitted anyway. One lap of the car park convinced me that having a flat on the wheel was not only un-necessary but also really annoying if you want to turn it more than 90 degrees.
Now looking for a std MF wheel with paddles and airbag ?
Oh and a huge thanks to audi colchester for sorting the mess out free of charge and half an hour after they had closed
