I'm pretty sure they should be a straight swap. How much did you pay for the steering wheel? Was it the one that ended on eBay a few days ago at £50?
yep and its brand new,only bought it cause my run about the cordoba has a plastic one on it
Knew I should have had a bid at that haha! Mine is pre-fl FR, so has the leather and radio controls, but doesn't have the metal playing on the bottom with the FR logo, which is the only bit I'm after! I think, and it is only think, that the airbags should be straight swap, and it's only the plastic covering that's a different fitting.
Pre FL and FL steering wheel airbags are completely different. A Pre-FL airbag will not fit on an FL airbag.
Does this apply to pre-FL steering wheels with multi function controls? They certainly look the same, though I can understand the standard pre-FL airbag not fitting.
As far as I'm aware, pre facelift's weren't available with steering wheel controls.
A facelift steering wheel will fit on a pre facelift, but the steering wheel controls wont work on it as the the car hasn't got the capability for them. You could retrofit it, but it would be very expensive and not worth it.

Pretty sure the pre-facelift FR has the steering wheel controls as that was one of the only things different between my TDi sport and his fr TDi.
As I said as far as i'm aware they didn't make one, never seen a Pre facelift with steering wheel controls, because i've never seen a pre facelift steering wheel with the controls!

So steering wheel control were available on the Pre facelift. If the car came without them, adding a steering wheel with controls wont give the car steering wheel controls, because they have nothing to connect to.
Just get a facelift steering wheel without steering wheel controls.

Pre-FLs definitely are available with steering wheel controls, I'm on my second 05 plate with them lol.
What are you going to do in the blank spaces where the controls would be? (if it fits that is!) you won't be able to use the wheel centre you have now, as it's completely different shape.
