I had one of them a momo something like a tea plate! stick it on Ebay with boss got £105  for mine!!

other than that the mk3 should fit however the main difference is the spline diameter between VW's,the steering column difference  is one is thick and one is thin the thick one is a thin one with a collar on.
Best way to find out is take the old one off and try the new one! good luck oh and watch your head when it pings off it goes quickly!

leave the nut loosely screwed on the end of the column that way you wont end up with a steering wheel embedded in your face!
