Retrofit Leon FR Steering Wheel with Paddles

[sama13]

Hi mates,

a friend of mine bought a 2008 Seat Leon 2.0 TDI + DSG and he's wondering if it's possible to buy the steering wheel with paddles and the wiring harnesses needed for it to work on his car.

Hope you can help us out.

But if the car has DSG why hasn't it come with the paddles already?

The PD140 DSG doesn't include the paddles - they're only available on the FR. On the PD140, you need to use the gear lever in 'manual' mode: push forward for + and pull back for - gears.

Thanks gainfulshrimp, is there any way to install the FR SW and paddles, I have seen on the internet that on BMW it is possible. It would be really cool.

I've read elsewhere on t'interwebs that it's possible on a Bora, which is also VAG and so I would assume it's possible on a Leon... although probably pretty expensive for a 'nice to have'...?

perfect, thanks for your help, then I just need to source the part number for the FR steering wheel and do some VAG COM work.
