Do you need to torque up the steering wheel centre bolt and what do you have to do on vagcom for the CH Controller.

I did it to 50nm.

You need to program it according to the options on your car for eg: if you have cruise control, rear wiper, auto transmission etc.

Great video Raz, especially as I've got a MFSW and highline dash waiting to be fitted to my GT Sport.
I'll PM you as I have bought a few bits from China and I'm currently looking at a MFSW module and loom at present

Cheers Rob1

Thanks Rob. Had a look on Youtube and only found 2 videos regarding steering wheel removal and Module change. one of those videos wasnt really clear so I thought hey why not make a better version which is more clear :D

Great video. Will be fitting a MFSW wheel with paddles to my GTi in the next week or so. (Hopefully!)

I notice when you took the airbag off you only disconnected one connector, but reconnected two, is this the upgraded airbag wiring loom? Do you know if there's much extra work involved in changing the slip ring?

Cheers :)

Hi Benny.

Yes the additional black connector is there because its a MFSW airbag loom. . The slip ring is held on by 2 clips at the top on both sides. You undo them and it just pulls off. when putting a new one on, make sure that it goes on the exact same position as you removed it.

Not sure if you need to code anything. Hopefully someone can confirm this.

Does the slip ring need to be changed, as I thought only the controller needed changing

Only if you have a type 1 slip ring. If you have type 2 you are ok. Type 2 has part number ending in C

UPDATE

Just fitted cruise control today plus the wire. It was pretty straight forward, was just a pain getting the wipers back in the  original position after removing it to install the wire.






Had the Kufatec Heated Seats loom arrive too, spent all day yesterday fitting it in, As my seats were out of a 2007 i had to switch the looms around, which isnt too bad. All wired up but i damaged the wire that goes to the CECM so doesnt work at the moment. Getting a repair wire this week and will try again next weekend. Getting colder now and its harder to work on the car outside. Just to add, the wire loom wasnt colour coded, all the wires were grey, but its not hard to identify what is what.

2 Earth ring terminals
1 thick wire with big connector for live
1 thin wire with small connector for ignition
1 thin  wire which says "pin 1" on it for the CECM,

4 wires going to the heater pane area (2 single cables and then 2 cables going into 1 connector)

Thanks to @Eddie-NL for his assistance on the wires.

Also some better shots of the car since cleaning it
