That is a very hard job - stay well away m8
I ask again, why is it any different from the dealer repairing one that goes bad under warranty?
If the circuit board shorted out, would the dealer send the car back to Wolfsburg to have the steering wheel removed? Of course not, it would be done in-house, quickly and competently. If the bloke who published the write up managed to tackle it (without, by his own admission, the correct tools) why would a VW main dealership
with the correct facilities and knowledge not be able to do it?
I guess I'm having major difficulty in understanding why people are reluctant to let the people who maintain the car day in and day out (ie your dealership) remove a steering wheel and swap a circuit board over. The work would obviously be covered under warranty, so any problems and the dealership would be obliged to fix under warranty.
Maybe I have a bit more of a devil-may-care attitude towards cars, but if I had ordered the MFSW, the dealer had missed it at time of order but was offering to retro-fit I would agree straight away. It looks less complicated than retro fitting cruise-control to the Mk4, which I, a mechanical f*ckwit managed on my PD150 at one moth old, so just I don't get the reluctance to have it done?
I'm surprised at the Doc, who can dissasmeble a MK5 interior with his eyes shut, is suggesting a qualified dealership shy away from a simple job like that
