could anyone tell me if i could fit an 8l s3 steering wheel straight to a 8p fsi??? cheers. adam
Yes the spline fitment/bolt are the same iirc, also 8L's had 2 wheel/airbag types given 97-99 & 00-03 were the releases, both will fit & I'm sure airbags will, but airbag & wheel must be matched for same years as airbag shape/sizes were different.
00-03 were used on number of chassis, iirc 8L facelift, B5 RS4, 8P 03-04, B6 A4/S4, possibly A6 chassis of same years, tbc.
on related subject, can an 8P 3 spoke sport fit an 8L (airbag connection??). Going to try flog my old one to one of my mechanics LOL
Yes with maybe some bullet connectors & wire swaps but should work on facelift 8L's as did on my 99 S3 with facelift wheel/airbag & I just swapped 2 airbag wires round.
I'm guessing you have a 4 spoke wheel & would prefer a 3 spoke sports type? As above, I'm guessing that even though the wheel will fit the airbag connection will be different.
Yeah but as above cut/crimp may work as I did given single stage.
i went on uk audis and the replies just never seemed to happen
You're fine now, breath 1, 2, 3, lol
No, 8L is single stage iirc, and 8p is dual stage, so it'll fit, but airbag won't work.
8P 03-04 is single stage, all 8L's were single stage, just design changes in 2 releases of the 8L's.
You don't even wanna know the price
Best not huh, lol
damn probs not a good idea then and an annoying airbag light im guessing
Not neccessarily if done right
Isn't the 8P also single stage up to 2006 too?
Hence the retro fit issues?
Upto late 04 for sure.
oooooo really thats interesting cos mines a 53 plate so should be ok
Yes possibly.
You just bought it to get one up on Nigel since he's heading home for his purchase LOL
Home, uh done that in italy way back dude, RS6 wheel is ****** lovely to drive, but expensive I can tell yer
Spot on Nate me old mate.
