Alternative Steering Wheel
I have fitted electric power steering to my van and would now like a slightly smaller steering wheel. Are there any specific VW 'go to' steering wheels that will fit such as Mk1/2 Golf, Jetta etc? Any pictures would be appreciated!
Re: Alternative Steering Wheel
There is a T3 van power steering wheel, looks the same as a later standard wheel but smaller.

Re: Alternative Steering Wheel
Mk2 golf wheels fit but there are several versions apparently. You may need to mod the indacators self cancel on some ( I did ) and some folk think it stops you seeing the clocks and lights , it never bothered me .
the power steering Caravelle wheel is really only very slightly smaller and the over inflated price of them is daft imho

Re: Alternative Steering Wheel
I've recently fitted a Momo one in mine - its 360mm and i can still see the gauges as i'm a short a*** - i also had to get some brass PCB stand off's so the indicator cancellation works. I don't currently have power steering but that's on the cards next year:

Just had a squint on eBay and noticed Mk2 Golf wheels are either large spline or small spline. Which will fit a T25?

Sport steering wheel fitted to the Golf, Scirocco and Passat. 380mm dia. and very comfortable.
Only needed to bent the slide contact for the horn a little.

Re: Alternative Steering Wheel
Cobblers recently fitted one from a B2 Passat.
I remember seeing it on this thread

Looks the part but I have no idea if it was a straight swap. You could always PM. Good to have another option
