    Paddle Shift install 07tdi jetta brisbane?

    Hi,
    Been searching and searching for a while now and still could not find an answer or build up confidence to take the leap and
    get started on getting the parts etc.

    I am wanting to install some steering wheel paddles on to my 07 dsg tdi jetta and was wondering if there is anyone in brisbane or surrounds who has done something like this and is keen to lead me in the right direction and maybe even wanting to install it for me for a few $$.

    At this stage i do not have a replacement steering wheel with the paddles yet, as i am still hoping to being led into the correct direction.
    I also do not have a vagcom at this stage and the airbag etc has put me off of doing the steering wheel swap myself.

    So if anyone is happy to give a few pointers or even would like to earn a few $$, please send me a pm.

    Thanks in advance guys. Cheers

    Hi mate. I can fit and code for you no issues there. You just need the wheel. I have seen a pirelli steering wheel at a wreckers but cant remember if had paddles or not...also condition looked average from pics. You need to keep a eye out on forum for wheel sales....they pop up from time to time. I got my GTI wheel with paddles from America on ebay from a wreckers. PM me if you want a hand mate......VDUB...

    Once you have the wheel, it will only take about a half hour all up. And if you can work a screwdriver and a torque wrench, then you have the minimum skills to do the job. Good to see the forum members are putting hands up to help out though!

    hi, i changed to a gti style wheel last week with paddles, i am yet to code them in but it was easy. here is a how to take from another site and simplified, only thing i would do differently is place the airbag facing upwards rather than downwards.

    Thank you everyone for the prompt and helpful replies.

    I think it is time to go on a hunt to find a gti steering wheel with paddles

    Anything else i will need, lets say if i get it posted from a wreckers etc. Or will
    the complete steering wheel (maybe incl airbag if i pick it up) suffice, or any
    other control model that i need to snatch up as well?

    Cheers again

    hey, i used the airbag off my normal wheel, they are the same. there should be nothing else you need. have fun and let us know how you go with the coding

    Hi Mate,

    There is currently a guy wrecking a mk5 gti pirelli in Sydney, he might have the steering wheel still. Found the add on Gumtree.

    Edit: From the pics it may be a manual so probably not. just found one on ebay VW R32 3 Spoke DSG Paddle Sport Steering Wheel MK5 Jetta GLI Golf GTI | eBay

    Thanks Jit55,

    Have contacted the guy in sydney with the pirelli. he told me it does not have the paddles, so it must be a manual one.
    The ebay one looks good, unfortunately it does not have the steering wheel control buttons for the radio etc, otherwise i would have been on it straight away.
    thanks though, i will keep looking
