Mk5 GTI DSG Steering Wheel - Whats mine worth?
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:24:46 pm »
Any idea how much i could get for my steering wheel (minus airbag) as i am looking to fit an MFSW (once i have bought one)?

Also, whats a good price for a GTI DSG steering wheel with MFSW?

thats abit confusing...what do you have now just the DSG paddle shift steering wheel or a MFSW with Paddles?  or neither? 

If you already have the DSG steering wheel with the paddles then it would be cheaper to just look on german ebay and find the buttons for each side of the S/wheel, then just code it for mfsw you will already have the right steering wheel controller.

As far as im aware, the buttons alone cannot be retrofitted to the non MFSW steering wheel.

Currently, i have the DSG steering wheel without MFSW.

Edit: After reading my original post back, it still makes perfect sense to me. Maybe im just special. lol.

How much can i get for my non mfsw with paddles?

How much should i pay for an mfsw with paddles?

Better?

Has you have the paddles the buttons can be retro fit into your S/wheel, if you had a standard gti wheel with no paddles or buttons you can not fit the buttons cos there is no cut outs for the ribbon cables or buttons. But with the paddle dsg wheel the cut outs are already there has is the small control box where the paddle wiring goes to you just need to buy the buttons,  if you take the airbag off you'll see what I mean.

by the way I paid £170 for an as new gti mfsw with paddles, but they do go for less if your luckky enough
