Anyone know if this steering wheel from a s3 8v will fit my 2012 s tronic sportback s3? If so does anything need doing via vag com?
Will this wheel fit?

your 2012 is a 8p so the airbags wrong and so are the controls
You need one from a A4 or A5 which has "mode" button on the left instead of the two arrows
You also need the airbag from the A4 / A5 as they are dual stage, the 8v is single

Probably better to get it re-trimmed - I used these guys, excellent service.

Highly recommend Royal, very good company
As for trimming it like the rs3, I've had alcantara R8 wheel before and would never have another, wears to quick and looks messy
The TTRS & RS6 wheels is a direct fit for your car including your airbag
A lot thicker and has the thumb definition etc

I had mine done in alcantara and it feels great - ask them to add some thickness to the wheel too (no cost option). As for wearing, I've had alcantara before and it does require looking after (careful cleaning etc...) but I never noticed any wear after 20k miles?
I wouldn't have alcantara I'd have it trimmed like this
Having it trimmed like the picture above is a lot lot cheaper than buying a new wheel.

Yes mate that's the one you need
You do need to swap a couple of pins on your airbag loom but it's VERY simple

No mate, it's Basicly the exact same wheel you already have, just thicker and fully perforated leather etc
You don't even need the airbag, yours is the same
You got a link or a pic of it ? Just to make sure we're talking about the same wheel ?
Should be this

It's REALLY easy to do mate
Or if you can be without it for a couple of days then post it to me and I'll do it for you
Another option is to buy another loom off eBay, and adapt that, this will keep your original loom with your existing wheel and airbag to sell on complete
