Right, got it on, looks the shiz, horn works, airbag looks to be working, but I've f**ked up somewhere, when turning the wheel, the little bit of plastic just behind the wheel itself (also behind the original wheel) is catching on something inside the wheel, my guess is its the horn wire.


As a result, every time the wheel does a rotation it is clicking which will fecking annoy me. However my problem now is I can't get the front of the wheel off, as I had to do that originally when I got the wheel and had to stick a long flat headed screwdriver down the two holes to release the springs, and there is no angle for me to do that now.


Any help?

No, never, never has never will, so I'm going to have this lovely ticking noise now when I drive as I can't get the f**king wheel off!

I need to get it off really as it'll annoy the crap out of me, turned the music up today which wasn't a problem but other days it will be haha. Was going to try again in the week but failing that I'll seemif VW will help me out.


The interior is the next thing now, cream leather eventually. So will look great soon enough. Took about 30 minutes to get the old one off and this one on, old was was piece of cake btw. Thank you by the way chrisford, you influenced me to do this :)
