Hi

I have just replaced Ignition barrel lock on my Polo.

Not sure if the steering wheel is the same but here is what I did.

Underneath the wheel there are two "holes".

These are for allen keys - undo these 2 anld lift off centre of steering wheel

- be careful there is flat strap wire which has a connector to the airgbag.

Once you get this off you can remove wiper and indicator assemblies.

Then you need a 22 or 24mm socket to remove the steering wheel.

Hope this helps.
