They’re here for quite a bit cheaper - https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/switches-buttons-trims/oem-5h0951527-5h0951528-sport-dsg-paddles/. That’s where I got mine. I have fitted them to my CS. I had a post on it in this thread few pages back.




Agree these look much more oem

That's because they are OEM  :smiley: They're factory fitted to the MK8 R.

Yes, €110 total, plus a bit for delivery. I'd recommend opting for their more expensive delivery option (FedEx / DHL) as the cheapest option is slow - takes several weeks. Which is fine if you're not in a rush for them I suppose.

Does anyone know if you can swap out the haptic steering wheel buttons on the Clubsport for actual buttons on the lesser models and still have all of the functionality?

No you can't - its a different steering wheel and some of the functions aren't available.

I'd say that is unlikely - are the same wheel functions available and are the buttons in exactly the same place?

Would probably be easier to fit a whole new wheel although that might not work either.

Personally I'm fine with haptic buttons.

Thank you. I’ve ordered a set.

Sorry, not looked at the fitting guide but can you just advise if you can swap without removing the steering wheel? (The biggest drawback if so)
