Flat steering wheel fitment

Mat196 · Sep 21, 2016

Hi have a 2005 a4 S line. I am looking to upgrade the steering wheel to a flat bottom 1. What do I need to check to make sure it will mither my car?
Are all the splines the same and wiring for the radio controlled ect??
Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Had a mk2 TT sline wheel fitted to mine. I just had to swap soms wires around for the radio controls on the steering wheel loom and was ok.

Hi Mat, not hijacking your thread mate but as I have a similar query thought I'd ask here instead of creating another thread...

1. Anyone know if it's a T55 Torx required to remove the steering wheel on the B7 8E ?
2. What's the correct torque setting to re tighten the bolt to mount the steering wheel again?

Many thanks.

i never measure it - i remove it a few times and trying to put same power for screw in as i screw it out

estimate off course
if you want the key - will post the number later on

Yes please Dimitar, I read somewhere it's torx 55 but can't remember where I read it and just want to be absolutely certain it is a t55 before I buy one.

Torque setting for the B7 steering wheel ... Does nobody know this?

Thanks pal, that's very kind of you but I'm in sunny Romford!
So how come you took yours off then - you got an aftermarket steering wheel?

Nope i just remove oEm buttons and put buttons from S5 which has alluminium trim around them

Very nice indeed, chrome surround really goes with the rest of the interior.

dimitar.tuntov.5 · Sep 23, 2016

That is why i done it

That chrome trim does look well. How is the airbag removed?

Nozrul Islam · Sep 24, 2016

Mat what steering wheel you're looking to get and from where?

To remove air bag refer to the cruise control installation on the A4 sticky.

I was just going to look on eBay ect.
I want a flat bottom 1 with the the same square airbag if possible.
