Anyone had issues with steering wheel rubbing on column cowl?
« on: July 10, 2010, 08:23:10 pm »
Hi All

Just finished fitting TC's old steering wheel.
Not a easy with VAGCOM as I expected, but it all works perfectly now.

Except when turning (more than steering) the new wheel rubs on the steering column cowl.

Any ideas what. Have done wrong?

Cheers

Wondered what I had done wrong.

VAGCOM was a bitch. Couldn't clear the error codes for About 1 1/2 hrs.
Then it cleared itself. Can't explain it.

The only thing i can think of, is you have a slightly different cowl designed before the paddles. Is it the actual paddles catching.  :happy2:

No that's the weird bit.
More like I haven't put the cowl back on properly.
I have checked a couple of times.

If you push up on the lower cowl it helps. As we are only talking a mm or two.

Btw screws never arrived. What were they for?

 :chicken:  It was just one screw and it held the gubbins to the back of the actual paddle.  :happy2:

My steering wheel starting rubbing on the cowl for no reason a while ago.  I just got a trim removal tool and levered it back, hasn't rubbed since!
