Fitting mfsw?
« on: December 10, 2014, 11:18:30 pm »
Do I need anything else in order to fit a mfsw to my 2005 gti DSG? I currently have a flat bottom gti wheel without paddles and highline display. Cheers

You will need a new steering wheel control module as well.

Yes i have fitted DSG MFSW and works perfectly fine. Just make sure you have VCDS to code the control module.

If you do a bit of searching, you will find that they are produced by FAW who make parts for VW asian market.

Thanks again. I'm looking at a mfsw from a 2009 manual car and want to fit a pair of genuine paddles to it. Hopefully the wheel will be ok for this?

I posted this in another thread earlier...


It depends which slip ring you have now. A quick way to tell is to scan with vcds and determine you existing steering wheel controller part number.
Use the Ross tech link above to see which slip ring that controller uses.
The CH controller uses a type 2 slip ring.

You will probably need to change the airbag harness too. I did when I did mine.

You don't need a CH controller to use a mk5 MFSW, that's for putting a mk6 wheel on a mk5
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
