Scirocco Register

Good evening,

Continuing the recommission of my Scirocco after a significant absence from the road, another question please?

Just a recap first, been a busy few weekends

• Fuelling issue - resolved with new lift pump

• Full service with Syntra oil (10w40)

• New drive belt (Gates)

• New timing belt and tensioner (Gates)

• About to fit another new timing belt as there was some swarf at the bottom of the cover that took the writing off and was audible with the squeak; better safe than sorry!

Ah! Where was I?! Steering wheel

I have a ?Polo (smaller) steering wheel on at the moment

I have the original, cleaned since this photo, but am being daft as cannot think which way the brown and black leads go

Thank you in advance!

It doesn't matter which way round the black and brown wires are connected - as long as the flag connectors are oriented so that there is no risk they can touch each other accidentally.

Thank you for the swift reply and advice!

If you want to be OCD about it, I photographed mine as I took it off.

Personally, I prefer the older, four button steering wheel.

The older steering wheels use a small spline so it is necessary to remove the large spline adapter. Also you need a plastic spacer to place over the steering column to avoid the horn sounding uncontrollably.

Thank you for calming my CDO

Now, that’s a steering wheel I’d quite like too! I’m going to look at running with the original for a while, now to keep an eye out for the older version; reads like effort, I’ve not been in the interior modification in any of my other vehicles.
Nearly time to plan a winter project for sure!

Thank you
