Hi I came across the opportunity of purchasing a new mk1 gti four buttoned steering wheel some time ago, even though I do not own a mk1 I thought these chances don’t turn up every day. I am now looking for a late mk1 cabrio 91/92 and my question is would it be a straight swap.

yup

Thanks I think that looks so much better than the Mk2 steering wheel found in the later cabs.

didn't the later cabbies have the big spline just like the late mk2's?

If that's true is there a cut off year anyone knows of or can it be altered to fit.

on the mk2 spline it's just a sleeve which can be grinded off, if the cabby has this too it's probably a sleeve aswell, how-ever Richard might be right that all cabbies had the same spline, i dunno about that. cut-off for europe was late 87 (88 model) for the mk2's

nope, my '89 cabby has a big spline, but there should be an adaptor on the spline? That i should be possible to take that off to get a small spline?

@ Tjaap, when I was working on my cabbby with Marco, he called you....remenber???

pull it off with a suitable 'pully-puller'?

Correct, the later cabby models have the altered spline. It came with the same modellchange as the altering of the gastank, and the newer engines. So '88>

I just looked it up in the parts catalogue, the Cabrio did get the bigger spline from 88 and up. Still, it looks like this is a sleeve like mentioned.

26 mm sleeve up to VIN 15-K-022 258, p/n 191 419 514 A
45 mm sleeve from VIN 15-K-022 259, p/n 191 419 514

it is a sleeve, and can be pulled off with a small pully-puller
