My Leather 16V leather steering wheel seems to be having an issue with the horn connections not working on it or being very hit and miss which was one of MOT failures, so i am looking for another, any recommendations from the guys that know best :wink: :wink:
Thanks

OEM or aftermarket? Size? I currently have a leather Corrado VR6 wheel on my mk2.
-

I actually like the oem GTi wheel but I also like the G60 leather which is what I have in mine. You could look at the wiring in your wheel, and is it the connections? You might have a problem at the horn end.

Best one leather from a Rallye the hand stiching is just enough comfort and grip a man needs like wearing cashmere gloves before a session with the misses! :rolleyes:
Don't get me started on the full leather hand brake cover Like a mask........ :lipsrsealed:

Got this one which I like as it's a leather 16v original, what would I get for this if I sold it to replace for something else?

Just sorted this on mine today actually! Mine was in constant contact so had to be disconnected. I went and got some sticky backed foam and added a bit on to the original stuff so now it sits a bit further away (probably where it was originally). Did this and immediately sorted my issue. Pull the horn push off, and check your connections. One goes on a plate on the wheel itself, and one on the centre push. When the two plates make contact, it obviously makes the circuit and operates the horn. Wires go onto the plates by spade connectors. May also be worth checking the ring at the back of the steering wheel. There is a single little metal nib that touches a ring around the inside of the shroud. If that's clogged up then it could be causing continuity issues. I only realised it was there and what it was when my steering wheel started scraping when being turned. Turned out to be a bit of grit wedged in between them. Hope this helps. :smiley:

I've got a 3 spoke MOMO leather sport one on mine....
I did buy a OEM G60 Leather one but I have been so used to a 3 spoke wheel for the last 20 years (Audi S2 Coupe, S4 & RS6) that I couldn't get used to a 4 spoke one for every day use...
My lad has "Borrowed" my G60 one and it's very nice to use once in a while....
All about personal likes.... If it feels good & you like it - then use it!!!

This was fitted in my car by the dealer when it was new. It's a little bit worn, so I have swapped it for a G60, wheel with intention of getting the Italvolante one re-trimmed at some point.

I've got one of these at the moment but I'm planning changing it back to an original, I quite like the Momo one but I just want the original back now,
