Will a Golf/Scirocco II steering wheel fit straight on a T25 ?
See told you it were quick.

Fit yes, horn work doubtful.
Actually, I think they changed at some point, and only the early ones fit.

Ian the only way to check is to fit it , chances are it wont just bolt on , the horn ring will need changing and you may have to make a spacer to take up the play , the indicator wont self canel

Cheers Gents ! There goes my 'cunning' plan to get Jack to drive on holiday ... I didn't want to get caught with the wheel off the Rocco
I've recently swapped the horn ring from the original skinny wheel to my Caravelle wheel (which was worn out and pipped at folk all on it's own
) ... kinda hoped it was gonna be that easy .. permission to say "Bugger" ?

I have changed my original wheel to a Passat steering wheel. The only changes I had to make were to the horn sweeper arm, which I just slightly bent out to contact the sweeper ring and to the indicator cancelling tab. For that I just made up a small piece of plastic, the same size as what is already on your new wheel and about 7mm long and just glued it to the existing piece on the wheel. Has been working now for about 3 years with no problems.

I had the golf and the polo wheel fitted to my van, got irritated at not being able to see my warning lights, so refitted the original VW one.
Had to fit a replacement horn button to dash 'cos one of the wheels coc=ed up me horn ring
