Flappy paddles steering wheel in Tiguan.

[HaywireTig]

Oh... Btw... Does anyone know how to remove the "GTI" emblem from the SW?

Edit: the part number is 5K0 419 091 E ASY. (it starts w '5' not 'S'). Thanks.

Don't think you can take just that part off.

If thinking of replacing it, then you need to buy and replace the whole U-shaped chrome bit.

That just comes off if you flick it out from the sides.

Yes... I wasn't actually askin if this was 'fake' or not. I was 99% sure it's the MK6 GTI one but because I don't see enough of Golf's ard, I was wondering if what I thought was right so that I am able match an airbag to it.

Thanks for the tips. I've just taken the sticker inside that says SK0 419 091 E ASY. So what wld the airbag part number be that will match this exactly?

I know what you're going through. I've had my wheel for a few weeks now and been trying to sort out what airbag to get. I've emailed a lot of the airbag sellers and they all say theirs will fit. I think as long as it's the right shape (for a sports steering wheel) and has all the same clips/fittings on the back you should be OK. I don't think there are too many compatibility issues with airbags (from other forums there appears to be more programming issues and incompatibility SWCM).

I'm yet to find out what the differences in the airbag part numbers but the one you're looking for is in this series: 5K0 880 201 (?) where ? is a letter from A to Q. This may be date related - haven't found a parts guru to shed light on this one yet.

My airbag is in transit - hopefully have it in the next week or so. If you can wait I'll let you know how I get on.

I'm confident that the Autologic will be able to re-program it to suit. Let me know if you need me, after you installed it.

Yes definitely will be in touch to get the paddles working. And at the same time will look at some other performance upgrades...

Thanks Tigger73! I'm also asking a few sellers and they all said it'll fit but they are unsure abt the last letter as well and also the programming issues. Do I need a special tool to take turn Tiguan steering wheel out from the column?

[Transporter]

No, only the removing the airbag is easier with the special tool. Just undo the nut and push down on the s/w on one side and pull up on the opposite one, this should get it off the splines.

You can use a 12mm triple square bit or alternatively some people have used an appropriate sized allen key.

You can buy the bit off ebay:

hi guys, i have sourced a dsg paddle wheel with the R badge down bottom. does anyone know the part number for the blank badge with no R? I am putting this wheel into a passat v6 so it would fit better without the R, willing to swap if anyone wants the 'R' version.

thanks guys.

Try that guy.

I just purchased a passat premium cluster from him. I purchased a wheel intact with air bag for about $800 shipped, figured it was just easier to get the entire unit. Probably a little expensive but easy and shipped in 4 days from europe

That's probably not too bad for the price. You'll save on shipping buying everything together and if you're lucky you'll even get the cable included which you may need if putting into a Passat - can't help you here.

[booba]

Yeah, it came with the cable and it cleared customers here in oz this morning. should have it by cob tomorrow according to ups. pretty good considering that i purchased it late monday.

Success!!!!!

12mm triple square bit arrived yesterday and the airbag came this morning (yes Saturday delivery). After a bit of mucking around with a screw driver and the clips on the back of the airbag it came out pretty easily in the end.

Needed a converter for the triple square bit to take from 1/2" drive to 3/8" for the ratchet but other than that it went pretty smoothly.

Threw a steering wheel fault when I turned it back on but drove down the road and the fault cleared.

Just waiting now to get it hooked up onto Vagcom and enable my flappy paddles...

[HaywireTig]

That's exciting news. Well done! I still havent got my airbag yet. Still scouting ard. I will have to get the 12mm bit too. Any photos mate?
