Hi,
I have a 1989 1.9 t25 fitted with an mk2golf steering wheel.
I have been having trouble with my horn lol and have replaced the retrun ring/slip ring piece as the edge was warn away.
On replacement i have also found this:


Should there be a complete piece on the end of this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Katie

It's normally a 'U' shape the part you have missing (worn out) rubs on the brass contact ring attached to the back of the steering wheel boss.

Thanks for that Ian.
Any ideas where i should start looking for one?is it a part of the multifunction switch part do you know?
Thanks

The wiper stalk and indicator stalk are 2 separate pieces, IIRC this is soldered to the back of one of them ...

thanks Ian, i'll post a wanted add up directly

just out of interest, would it be the same bit early to late?
Have the steering column from the old 1980 Aircooled (waspy) still here and looks like it has along copper peice not a u shaped???

It's shown as the same part number for all years and €0.62 . It LOOKS to be a part of the outer switch assembly though.

Thanks very much for that Ian.
I tried vagcat and got a very differnt diagram to the one you got lol but its only the 2nd time ive used it so must be doing something wrong lol
have posted a wanted up, as dont know where else to try for the part, its just took me a week to find the other part for the dam steering wheel lol.
thanks agin

If I can find our spare indicator stalk I'll see if it's soldered to that or just held on by the lower of the 3 retaining screws.

thanks Ian, i did take off the 3 screws but i couldnt see how the part ive broke came away from the main stalk, maybe a blonde moment
