People have said it's just a case of remove the steering wheel and replace the stalk.
I'm dubious about DIY removal of the steering wheel due to the air bag. What are other peoples opinion on this?
Last week my turningsignals didn't work. They had to replace the emergence switch in the centre, because that's also the relais for the turningsignals, the one that switches them off and on.
And they had to replace the lever itself.
I also have the three spoke sports steering wheel (and I love it) and the leather on it was slightly danaged, but the dealer was kind enough to order a new steering wheel.
So basically they had to remove the entire wheel, the lever and the center emergency switch.
removal of the steering wheel itself is easy. There are screws on the back that will release the front plate. Below the front plate are the screws that will release the steeringwheel. The cables to the wheel can be detached. Once the wheel is removed the lever can be slid out and changed.
I saw them to this and with the ease they did it I don't think that there was any risk in the airbag going off. But maybe we can find a manual somehwere on the internet ??
For the CruiseControl to work you will need the diagnostic module to tell the car the CruiseControl is connected. Something like:
SET CRUISECONTROL=1
