Langers555 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 No it cannot. You have to replace the entire airbag unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1monty Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I had one replaced a little over a year ago on a Mk4 GTI & they did not have to replace the airbag unit. Same design of steering wheel I am sure. The cap was scratched badly & before I accepted the car I asked them to replace it. Knowing the dealership I know they would not have replaced the whole airbag unit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying your wrong, but the R's steering wheel is considerably thicker than other VW ones. James, have you tried speaking to the guys at OEM? (Sorry, can't find the linky right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan32 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Mine has some marks on it, probably where someone overcleaned it. Looks like the chrome effect is coming off. Perhaps a sticker could be found/made or maybe some clever colour coding?? Sounds like you had a go at buffing yours Tom?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
