Steering Wheel Boss - SEAT Cupra.net

*Chrisdaman* · 28-06-2007, 22:37

where can i get a steering wheel boss for my beeza? it's got an airbag to, i know some people just disconnect the light that goes to the airbag warning but i wanna do it right, i've managed to pick up a 280mm steering wheel for £35, and want a boss.

Any other caution to removing my steering wheel and putting the new one on?

Cheers
chris

Only boss I find which fits a mk2 Ibiza is a momo one. Retail at £40, I couldn't find any other make who did one for the mk2 ibiza.

surely same as polo / golf 3 tho ?

zippy12 · 29-06-2007, 08:25

i've seen steering wheel bosses on ebay for about £15.

zippy12 · 29-06-2007, 08:27

raid do one too... theres no way to go about stopping the airbag light, as effectively your taking it out... you could try a reset of the airbag system on vagcom, dont know if it would work tho, or as most people do, take the light out, unplug the light, or put a resistor over the wires for the air bag so it still thinkis theres one there

Disconnect the battery for at LEAST 15 minutes before removing the steering wheel.

If you don't it might go off in your face!

zippy12 · 29-06-2007, 12:24

I've taken my off with the battery still connect before. opps

Im sure OMP do a steering wheel boss. Im sure ive just looked at one on ebay cos im seriously considering getting a new steering wheel for my car!

*techie* · 29-06-2007, 21:57

I had a Momo one on my pick up (same column as the Ibiza/Polo), I just pulled the bulb out of the dash. Even easier on Ibiza just remove the airbag light and fit a regular blank like the one above it.

Its golf mk3 fitment, and theres quite a few choices.

Dead easy to do, theris even aguide on the mian site on how too

Fraz · 30-06-2007, 11:21

and golf mk3 is the same as late golf mk2......

**F2 Stu** · 30-06-2007, 11:35

Sure, I bought a late mk2 boss and it did'nt fit.

Fraz · 30-06-2007, 13:07

yup.

Was it too small by any chance??

I had a mk2 golf gti late boss that i then used on a mk3 . Only mk2 thats different is the early ones which have a very small spline...
