#3: Re: Steering wheel Author: bellevuespares, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:33 pm ---- someone was asking me this earlier today, i have 2 GTI phase one's 1999 models, and he was wondering if it would fit 2003 1.4
I did look for Lee but he wasnt around, But i came across a COPY Lee named (Lee.) I nearly mailed him until i seen he had only 1 rating then i knew it wasnt you.

They are interchangeable within the same electrical system.
#5: Re: Steering wheel Author: bellevuespares, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 6:04 pm ---- So basically if the airbag is supplied with the steering wheel it is interchangable without a doubt?
Do they have the same size column (diameter) for the Wheel to sit into.?
#6: Re: Steering wheel Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 6:08 pm ---- No, you need to use a non-plexed steering wheel on a non-plexed car. Same with mux.
So yours will only fit upto like a Y-reg (2001)

You need a MULTIPLEXED / CLIP ON airbag type steering wheel
Multiplexing came in on the 206 from late 2001.
You also use your original airbag with the leather wheel, it's the same fit across the multiplexed 206 range.
Be warned: A non plexed / BOLT ON airbag type wheel is NO GOOD for your car!

Airbag is clipped on for the multiplexed wheel, as long as its the clip on type multiplexed wheel it will fit.
The only thing at 6.30 is the slot on the back of the wheel to release the clip

That allows the airbag system back up capacitors to discharge.
