Steering wheel upgrade

[Portnellan]

Can anyone help. I have a T6 Leighton can with carbon effect flat bottom mfsw. Thing is, the paddles have never worked. Can they ever work? Has something been left unplugged. My van gearbox is DSG. Appreciate the help.

They plug into the back of the buttons I think. I did mine a couple of years ago and no coding was needed. I doubt Leighton would send them out not working so must be a loose connection possibly

Thank you. Will investigate further.

I’ve bought a new flat bottomed & reupholstered wheel and it’s come with buttons. I’m reusing my air bag & currently waiting on a new leather & grey stitch airbag cover for it.

All looks the same apart from the middle button on the left. Mine is blank & the new wheel has a button for what I think is ACC (?)

I’m guessing I’ll need to transfer my existing buttons to this new wheel & I’ll be good to go, just wanted to double check I’m right before I remove my wheel & risk spoiling another weekend trying to make the van nicer.

As you say, swap it all over and good to go

Cheers mate. Will look better once the airbag cover is here & it’s all fitted!

I've got a mk7 Golf Gti TCR steering wheel i purchased it to fit to my golf gti. But as i am now selling the golf i wont be using it. I have been considering fitting it to my T6 but its a breadline model van with no MFSW and the thought of having all those buttons on the wheel and none doing anythng seems a waste.
Shame they dont do nice wheels without the mf capabilities. Might try and find a highline wheel and get it retrinmed.
