Will this wheel fit me Tiguan??

[Safferbogun]

HI all, its been a while and its been tough financially so spending on the car was forbidden by the boss.

This time has passed now and I am 2 weeks away from getting ARP tune done.

I found this steering wheel on gumtree and was wondering if anyone knew if this would fit a 2012 155?

Any advice will be welcome!

I would say it will. But it's an incomplete wheel the air bag along might cost more than the wheel the paddles will need coding but there are people here that can do that.

+1 you would probably be better off getting a brand new steering wheel and airbag.

Something like this:VW Multifunction Steering Wheel with DSG - GTI R-Line - Flat Bottom 1K8419091 5K0419091 - Golf Scirocco

The one off gumtree is likely out of a wreck where the airbag has been deployed. You'll be up for the airbag + wiring harness which will add another $500 to the price. By the time you do this it's not far off the cost of the brand new complete wheel.

I was lucky to pick up a complete. Passat CC DSG. Steering wheel for $550. I then sold my Tiguan one for $325. On EBay. So it worked out pretty cheap for me. This is the similar one to what I bought. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-AU

Yeh your Tiguan airbag will not fit the gumtree gti wheel. You will need a airba from a gti mk6 or newer caddy/polo and airbag loom and then code in the paddle shifters

Save your money on what is to all intents and purposes a pretty useless mod and take you wife out to a nice dinner to thank her for being your financial conscious!

GTI flat bottom flappy wheel is best mod ever.

Thanks all for the responses, I really like the look of the flat bit on the GTI and the R-line.

A new one is a bit pricey so might have to save up seeing as I am going to do stage 1 in the next month. Id have the CAI over the steering wheel.

Thanks again!

CAI does little other than lighten your wallet.
Stage 1 as-is with the DSG software provides a very good outcome.
Only down side is full consumption on the 155 or should I say 189!

Yes I agree that the flat bottom wheels are where it's at. If you can find a nice Mk6 GTI/R/R-line one with paddles then that's what you want. I'm trying to sort out the Mk7 wheel I've got in my wife's Tig but seems that the wiring is different. Trying to find the info on this is proving a little difficult.

CAI with a pod filter will give some nice whooshing noises
