Some good and bad updates, got myself a Momo team steering wheel 280mm with some bday money looks rather nice :)

By the WAY, removing the original VW steering wheel is a complete nightmare and we ended up sawing it off, the little clips behind were impossible to release!

But eventually got it fitted and it looks great, feels weird at first as it is tiny but really fun once you get used to it!

Finally sorted the rear camber out so no more scrubbing but the fronts i cannot seem to stop!

Can anyone assist me turning the air bag light off!???

Quick photo with dads golf :)

Then took the wheels off the other day to discover this on the fronts! TRACKING NEEDS DONE URGENTLEY!

Taking it down to the Phirm next week if i can get hold of some tyres which is proving difficult at the moment! 195/45/14s no one seems to stock!

Your airbag warning light might be the clock spring behind the steering wheel you can get them for £129 from VW. :thumbsup:

More then likely is that because you did replace the steering wheel and may have triggered the warning light to come on..

My mate had the same problem then he had it fitted then restarted the CPU and its all gone now!

Hope this helps! :-D

P.S.

sucks about the tyres that shit needs to get sorted ASAP!

No worries mate always willing to lend a hand. :-)

I really love the GTi alloys they look real smart, if you hate them so much il take them off your hands! :p

Thinking about selling the car as i fancy an upgrade, sensible offers will be accepted but looking at around £2,250 with GTi BBS wheels or £2,750 with Borbet T alloys (new front tyres will be sorted) to start with. The Car is coming up to 105,000 miles but had a recent service, oil change etc. Runs really well haven't ever had any big problems. Sitting on JOM coilovers, just fitted a Momo Team 280mm steering wheel and the interior is seriously MINT, new leathers with heated front seats, climate controll + aircon, double cup holders, red colour coded engine bay. DubMiester UK Legal Pressed Number Plates. All the usual GTI spec bits and bobs, nice looking car that has been well looked after and good money spent on it.

Just stuck 6 Months TAX on it and MOT'd till February.

Please ask for any other pictures that aren't on the build thread.

Any questions please ask or text me on 07760130036, thanks. Andrew.
