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.
