Cheers for all the info guys,
I was just wondering if your cars have PAS or not. Maybe there is a connection with which wheel is fitted.
If you could let me know that would be great.

Also i have read a few other posts which mention small and large splines for the wheel attachment. Can anyone shed and more light on this.

Joe, I'll attempt to post a phot of my MOMO wheel for you.

Cheers fellers.

the spline size changed at some point around '88-ish, yours will be a large one. yeah pm me a pic of the momo or something and we could some to some arrangement.... ;) but failing that you can have my spare one for £5+postage or if you want to trade i have a leather version as well...

You can easily remove the larger spline, using a bearing splitter and pullers. Mine is a 1990 8v, which used to have a large spline, but I pulled it off as I wanted to put a Mk1 GTi steering wheel on - can see the dials now. Couldn't with the Mk2 one on - how daft is that!!

interesting, didnt know that, might just do that, although did you not need to source a smaller spline?......
 i spent £50 of a wheel that lies in my boot :angry:

No need for a smaller spline as its there already! VW placed the larger spline over the top. :smiley:

I assume it was in preparation for the Mk3, which ws just around the corner.

the 1990 golf should have a wheel like this i believe:



I have a non-PAS 1990 8 valve 82KW GTI which also has this steering wheel.
