Is this the same as a MK6 GTI MFSW?
« on: September 02, 2014, 04:12:26 pm »
Hi guys, I need some help quick.

This steering wheel is being sold for £325, and comes with the air bag and loom. It just says it's a mk6 flat bottom multi function steering wheel, and this is what it looks like:


It hasn't got the GTI badge on it, so it isn't from a GTI. I am aware that you can change the badges though, so the badge isn;t a problem. But what I want to know is, other than the badge at the bottom, is there any other differences between this version, and the GTI version? £325 seems really cheap for a manual MK6 FSW?!

Thanks a lot!

Yeah looks like Mk6 MFSW. That does seem a good price, but people pay a premium for red stitching, GTI/R32?GTD badge, DSG paddles.
Not sure what model this was from, could be any VW polo,van etc?
Isn't it £350 + £25 postage?

I think it's from the mid range mk6 Golf models, like the standard 2.0 non-turbo and the likes.

Don't forget you'll probably need a new steering wheel controller & fitting/coding for the buttons to work....about £150ish?

that is correct, but I messaged the seller and they said they would accept £325.

Aren't the controllers only about £60? And fitting/coding isn't a problem can get than done for £30/40 :) still.. it all adds up, damn!
