Nope......for reasons of security VW decided to make it a little more dificult than that......
They located the one retaining screw at an angle so it couldn't be accessed without the ignition sleave (aluminium casting) being removed.

The steering wheel is the easy bit.....pretty sure there is a full writeup in the WIKI.
About 40 minutes job the first time.
