Another little tip that I like to use is to put a marker pen line on the head of the bolt each time it had been re-tightened. A simple way of keeping track how many times it has been off  :happy2:
Is that 5 times  really true or can we just put some fresh Loctite blue on the threads
I wouldn't see an issue with loctite  :happy2:

Hi update on my retrofit!
I changed over the control module CH one, and also mf botton airbag wire.
I got the 3 yellow lights and I tried to code it and nothing is working, even the horn dosent work! Do I need a different slip ring?
Will try to code it again tomorrow.
I have s 06 gti manual, high line display. Rns510 also fitted

What code have you entered in? I think all GTI's had a type 2 slip ring so you should be ok. Sounds like a coding issue

Is it a mk5 wheel with a loom part number starting 1K0, or a mk6 wheel with a 5K0 loom?
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Can you confirm the part number of the airbag loom you fitted?
Or did this come with a used wheel?

Good that is the correct loom anyway.

That coding looks weird for mk5 16-steering, what was your original coding? Have you followed a coding guide for a mk6 wheel as that is different.
Is your car a manual and do you have cruise control? Try 0002022

What was the part number of your old steering module? Sometimes the slipring needs changed too

I hope it's just the coding!
Well the standard code is 0001534.
The car is manual, no cruise control.
The steering wheel is the standard one that came with the car
I just adapted the mf buttons to the wheel.
The original sw control module I think it ends in c but I'm not sure need to
Check tomorrow ( it's in the garage )
