Loved the videos and followed them to change out my daughter's turn signal stalk on her 2007 A4 Cabriolet, so now her brights work. Thank you very much for posting them, super well done and very informative. One problem I have though is that when put everything back together, I tighten the nut for the steering wheel so it is tight (but by no means over-tight) and put everything back together, I now get the wheel is rubbing on the upper and lower cowlings behind it, and it is super tough to turn, and wont return by itself if you let it go after turning. Everything went back together fine, it all fits properly without forcing anything - any idea what could cause this? If i loosen the nut for the steering wheel it works better, still rubs a little bit but it will return it self, but it shifts around and feels loose...

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Glad you found the video's helpful! Sounds like an alignment issue on the upper or lower (or both!) cowls. I'd try removing those and reseating them. You say the steering wheel is hard to turn? Harder than before, remembering of course no power steering when engine is off. A rub on the cowl should not really effect the steering weight too much... --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Did you ever resolve the issue? as i have the same issue

[@-kilian-]

Do anyone know whether a b6 S4 steering wheel will fit on the regular A4 Avant ?

[@clab3171]

@totaltechnik i accidentally locked my key in the ignition barrel while going thru this process i spaced to take it out. I currently have the tcm out for repairs so i dont know if it not registering in park is not allowing the key release. Is there any other ways to remove

[@perdanielsorensen7775]

Is the bit you're using an XZN/Triple Square that is used on so many VAG products or is it the obsolete ASTM B18.2.7.1M 12 spline?

[@TotalTechnik]

It's a standard triple square, also often referred to as spline bit. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

I have an Audi A4 2013 and the steering wheel has become stiff when I first got it last week it was corrected not it’s stiffer than before and difficult to turn. I asked mechanic he said he disconnected battery to fix the stiffness before when turning. Could it be due to power steering pump?

[@_Ambition124]

Check your power steering fluid for starters

[@barringtonvirgo5844]

It’s electric power steering

[@barringtonvirgo5844]

Do I still need to check it. No

[@gazg3.0tdi47]

Hi Quick reply needed!!... I have purchased a flat bottom steering wheel as an upgrade to the standard b7 3 spoke.. both use the dual stage airbag so I will be putting the OEM airbag into the new wheel. This new wheel does not come with the yellow clip that is attached to the standard as shown in this video before you remove the wheel. Do I need to disconnect it from the standard wheel and use it on the new steering wheel or is this not possible? Trying to find out as much as possible before I attempt to swap the steering wheels. Thanks

[@gazg3.0tdi47]

The yellow clip I am talking about is at 4:08 on the video . Thanks

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Is the new steering wheel also sourced from a B7 A4/S4/RS4? If so, you should be good to use the same connector from your old wheel, assuming that you are using the old airbag? --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there's a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our KZbin channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on KZbin. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better! 4) All donations welcome.

[@christianpedersen9402]

I have bought an Audi tt sport steering wheel 3 spoke without an airbag. I wanted to fit it on my Audi a4 b6. Can I use a standard a4 airbag? Will it fit with the connectors? It's non-multifunction. Thanks

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Does it use an indentical shape airbag (I'm guessing not)? You have to be careful upgrading steering wheel and/or airbags as some cars are single stage airbag, and others dual stage. The B6 platform is single stage. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

[@jasonramirez980]

Loved the video! I had to remove everything to switch out the turn signal switch but when I put my steering wheel back the steering wheel squeaks when it turns side to side and i feel resistance any way you can help or what I should look for?

[@TotalTechnik]

First thought is it sounds like the rear of the wheel catching the upper and/or lower cowl. If so, try realigning the cowl/s and see if that helps. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Wondering which wires are for the horn? Are they just the two wires on the right side of the yellow plug?

[@mrharpman]

I was wondering if I can upgrade my Audi A4 B7 steering wheel without the multifunctional buttons to a new one with the multifunctional buttons. Do you know if there are any special cable set necessary? best regards

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Almost certainly I would say yes it would be possible. I have not done this adaptation myself, but I see no reason why it cannot be done. You may have to upgrade a couple of components within the steering wheel assembly. I'd recommend doing some Google research or visiting one of the Audi forums like audi-sport.net as more info on this upgrade should be available. Best of luck!

[@vonbrewsky8019]

I'm installing a new steering wheel on my b6. It wont have an airbag and I don't plan on hooking one up. Will any lights appear on the dash as a result?

[@CptSlow94]

What do you torque the bolt to when you put it back on?

[@TotalTechnik]

It should be 50nm. I have not checked the Audi workshop manual, but would be very surprised if not 50nm. Also, it's worth putting on a LITTLE BIT of thread lock (blue). Be sure to support us: Please subscribe to our KZbin channel and spread the word!

Is it the same process for a skoda octavia vrs mk1??

[@TotalTechnik]

It will at least be very, very similar :-) Most of the models across the VW and Audi range use this same system. It can vary a bit with vehicle age etc, but the basic principal is usually the same.

[@AlexStJohn-mw1kz]

Excuse me if I am wrong, but M12 is not size of the bit needed. It is some size of Torx. Any idea what that is?

[@TotalTechnik]

This is explained in detail in the video. No, it is not torx... Please watch the video again more carefully :-)

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

It’s commonly referred as a triple square, which is an internal drive 12pt (as opposed to the more commonly used 12pt external drive socket).

[@thelordwizard6808]

is this the same or very similar for the b5 rs4?

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Yes, it should be the same or at least very similar on the B5. To be safe you might want to completely disconnect the battery for airbag removal and refitting. Be sure to support us. Please subscribe to our KZbin channel and spread the word!

[@thelordwizard6808]

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

[@dteague7037]

will a b7 steering wheel work on a b6 i hate my steering wheel i want to change it.

[@TotalTechnik]

It's not a direct plug and play swap unfortunately. The B6 has single stage airbag, whilst the B7 is dual stage. So the airbag is the issue rather than the wheel itself. Many people have done this upgrade, but there is no guarantee that the airbag will deploy in the case of an accident, and nobody has tested it properly yet (of course).

how about B6?

[@TotalTechnik]

The process is the same, and for the B6 airbag you can view here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDYgZh8oql_eKM --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

You should actually show removing it. What a waste of time

[@TotalTechnik]

Do you mean showing removing the airbag? Our video's are modular, otherwise we'd have to show the airbag removal on our steering wheel video, indicator stalk video, wiper stalk video, cruise control stalk video, clock spring video, steering wheel control module video etc etc etc etc etc There is a link below the video, as explained IN the video, just click and watch that if you are unsure on how to remove your airbag.
