Golf gti steering column I think

Post

Back to the top
Hi all

i have a mk1 caddy and I have just bought a golf mk1 gti steering wheel only to find the wheel won't fit onto the splines on the pickup steering coLumn,  DOH.   I take it I need to swap the column from a tin top gti over to make the steering wheel fit.

so has any one got a gti they are breaking…  Please.

cheers Simon

Is it too big or too small?
If it's anything like the golf, which at a guess it is:
If it's too small there is an adaptor that can be fitted to the splines to fit the large spline steering wheels, if it's too big it may already have the adaptor fitted.

Adaptor like this: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a89/ewong_kaizen/DSC00375.jpg

I am afraid I have no idea what you need, but if you need the complete steering column I have one. I am at cb22 4rx.

Ok thanks.  I will take a look in morning before work, but the splines on the caddy are larger so wheel will not go onto steering column shaft.

will be in touch abfmk1

thanks chaps
