Arosa-Nor Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just bought a Seat Sport steering wheel. I imagined it would just slide on my Arosa Mk1, but its not that easy Ive worked for hours now, and I still havent gotten it right. There are always some minor differences which f***s up everything.Anybody have any experience with fitting a Mk2 wheel onto an Mk1?Im dying here mates, please help..

Arosa-Nor Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 whats different mate? not sure many of us have changed this...Think I was hoping for some of you to have "The guide to switch from Mk1 steering wheel to Mk2", so that I didnt have to explain.. But here goes:The first thing I did was to remove the airbags on both wheels (disconnected the battery of course). Then I removed the old MK1 wheel, and "mounted" the Mk2.This actually worked OK, apart from the airbag, which didnt work, and the "middle-connecting-thingy (the round disk which all the wires goes through) which didnt roll as smooth as it was supposed to.I then tried to use the "middle-connection-thingy" from the Mk1-wheel. After some modifications I got it all connected (had to drop 2 of 3 screws in the "middle-connecting-thingy" so that it would fit the Mk2-wheel).When I then started it up, the airbag still didnt work...The first thing I thought was that maybe the Mk2-airbag is defect..?Im going to try to refit the Mk1-wheel with the airbag tonight, and if that airbag doesent work either, Ive managed to f**k up some serious stuff Understand what the "middle-connection-thingy" is?

Gibbeth! Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 When you say it didn't run smoothly, did u tighten everything up when you had it in place?When I was putting my wheel back on after replacing the dash, in felt notchy, and got stuck at one point, but once everything was tightened up, it ran perfect.

Of course I put it back in, just like it was before.Argh.. Its giving me a headache.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
