MAN TGE / VW Crafter SY SZ steering wheel and airbag removal part one

I'm hoping to change the steering wheel on my MAN TGE van to a leather one from, a golf mk7, this video is just an exploratory one to assess the type of wheel needed

Great information, think this will really help people doing similar modifications👍

Hope so!

Do you know if all models have the same ‘clockspring’ for the wheel electrical connections? I’d like to fit a heated, leather wheel to my crafter. Did the same on my Discovery which needed a new clockspring with enough traces to accommodate the heated wheel which was more expensive than the wheel itself! Binge watching your vids. Keep up the good work👍🏼

Thanks for the comments, as far as i can see there are two different clocksprings fitted (5Q0953569A or 5Q0953569B) but i really dont know what the differences are between them sorry, they seem to be fitted to a lot of the VAG range though

Hello mate. Does a mk7 gtd steering wheel fit?

[@paulsprojects1]

yes, you will need the airbag too as its a different shape and possibly coding depending on the original spec but it will physically fit, there is a guy on the crafter man tge self build group facebook page that has fitted one
