Bought a new steering wheel on eBay.de

Leather, supposedly OEM.

Ideally, I'd have the Touareg or Phaeton wheel with heating - but this'll have to do. It will be a huge upgrade from the plastic one in any case.

Please let us know how you install it and if the horn and airbag will still function?

It looks like that same steering wheel is for sale here on the Cavevan forum in the classifieds.

Here is the steering wheel removal procedure: http://www.justanswer.com/vw-volkswagen/54u4m-2002-vw-eurovan-removal-procedure-air-bag-unit-steerig-wheel.html

I suspect horn and airbag function will be alright.

Soon, I just got back to the van last week (this is my parent's car, I live thousands of miles away).

The issue that's holding me up is that the battery terminal is attached quite firmly.

Sorry!! Completely forgot about this thread. I'm normally only with the van a couple weeks a year.

So, the leather wheel fit perfectly, no issues with airbag, horn, or ESP.  I was in the process of putting the van together after doing the HVAC fix. Normally its more assembled than that.

Dang you got a great deal.  Too bad they are sold out.  What's the difference between the color wax and flannel?

Does anyone know if this wheel will fit a 97?

Not this particular part, because this wheel is for cars with ESP. I don't believe ESP was offered in '97.

Looks good. I always wanted to install a leather steering wheel though I can't find one yet.
