Finally done and very happy. Got a new old stock mk7 golf (pre facelift) steeringwheel off eBay. It’s got a flat bottom but not as much as in gti’s etc. Came with flappy paddles, switches and trim. Swapped over switches from my van and plugged flappy paddles into my existing switches. Works a...
Yes I now believe that's the problem. I saw a YouTube video on replacing a normal steeringwheel with a flat bottomed golf R steeringwheel, which we have and it shows the choice you the coding choice that can be reprogrammed accordingly. We now need someone, preferably in Kent/E.sussex who can...

Afternoon All,
I've got my eye on a new steeringwheel, so if that goes ahead, mine will be for sale.
It is a standard MFSW off a 2016 T6, but will come as a bare unit (no buttons or airbag)
Back in May 2024, I had it professionally retrimmed in black nappa leather with light purple...
Is it possible to use an 2QD Electric Power Steering Unit? The 2QD has PQ compatibility, but some say the motor (mounted on the column near the steeringwheel) is not powerful enough to take on a T6. Is that true?
Do you mean the steeringwheel is not centred/straight ?
If so then the wheel tracking probably needs to be adjusted to get it inline again, most tyres garages will do this and they should centre the steeringwheel then do the tracking in the wheels to make them point straight ahead
Got to wonder if the trend of steering rack failures is linked to bigger heavier wheels (more gyroscopic force) and mis-alignment due to suspension and wheel mod’s.
The more the steering links and rack are out of alignment the more friction and wear plus additional load on the PS pump.
Yes get the tracking checked!
Weirdly when I had my clutch changed the other week the steeringwheel ended up off centre (subframe moved maybe ?)
Went back to VW and they sorted the tracking which fixed it.
Hi, for my 2023 t6.1 I'd like to upgrade the steeringwheel to heated unit. I saw this one in local fb group and am considering placing an order. Being new to all this automotive stuff I would like to ask for some advice. First and foremost, are you able to tell if this will be ok for t6.1 ...
After getting the bits and wanting to make the steeringwheel heater to work without doing any(major) modifications to the van. I mange to get this to work but in a complete deferent way to most of the members I have seen done here. But a great deal of information was available thanks to them. I...
Search for Hunter 4 wheel alignment in your area. I had mine done not long ago and can see a noticeable improvement in both the wear on front wheels and also position of steeringwheel when going straight!
My new one has lane assist. In recent storm it kept warning me to keep two hands on steeringwheel. I felt like something out of Wallace and Gromit actually gripping the steeringwheel so tight I didn't blow over! Must say all the gadgets etc I quite like. And most can be actually turned off and...
