Steering wheel

[Innocence80]

My current steering wheel is a bit rough looking and wondered if I could change it for another audi steering wheel but with controls?

My current one doesn't and it at 2003 A4 cab.

Was looking at something like this

Audi S5 Multifunctional Steering Wheel | eBay

Or will have I have to stick to updating with something like this

*AUDI A4 B7 RS4 05-08 3 SPOKE BLACK LEATHER MULTIFUNCTION STEERING WHEEL | eBay

or

AUDI S3 STEERING WHEEL 2008 MODEL | eBay

Or will none of them fit!?

Lol is there anything on your cab your happy with? lol

There's something about dual stage airbags to be careful of when using newer steering wheels.

And getting steering controls to work can be a pain. Best bet, in my opinion, is to go like for like, or upgrade to the sport spec wheel, with three arms(?) rather than four.

Its not massive changes Im making just little things here and there.

 

[palfy86]

aww i didnt mean anything by it, other than it appears you want to change everything at once lol

Everytime I try and change something, I found out I can't without major modification, so move on to the next thing! lol

In that case probably best to go for one of the 3 spoke sport wheels (if your car doesn't already have one), newer wheels can be a pain.

I have a 3 spoke one already as I have the sport model, it's just a bit worn and would like a newer one.

The B6 MFSW's are all four spokes wheels, like this (which also has tiptronic function). You might need a new slip ring for the steering, and a MFSW ECU, but other than that it should be plug and play (ish). As mentioned, newer wheels have issues of uncertainty ref the dual stage airbag's working if required.

Think I will stick with what I've got for now, thanks for the info though, something to consider for the future.

The perforated leather looks really cool.

The perforated leather looks really cool.

Would that not look cheap and nasty in the flesh though, a bit like those steering wheel covers you can purchase.

 

[pauldazzle]

No it's proper retrim & looks OEM. I've seen one in the flesh, & it looks bang on.

Will look into that then, maybe after xmas!
