206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 25-07-2013
whats all this about a 206 steering wheel fitting a 306??
my arse does it fit!!!
the splines may line up....but the column cowling complete stops the wheel from getting even close to the splines!

Mine seems all good lol
But yh removing the cowling is an obvious
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Niall - 25-07-2013
Did you just have to cut the hole in the cowling bigger? I tried this in a car at the breakers as the 206 wheel is much nicer but it wasn't direct fit so I couldnt be bothered to buy it lol
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 25-07-2013
it needs to sit back another 2inches so some serious hacking about to happen!
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 25-07-2013

Cut cut cut!
Air bag wires the same?
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 25-07-2013
Nope, but theres a thread somewhere explaining what to do, as the 206 one needs two plugs and the 306 loom has one. the plug fits, but I think you bridge it or summit
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Grant - 25-07-2013
Wasnt the 206 airbag system completely different to the 306 one though, rendering it a bastard to wire in?
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Matt - 25-07-2013
205 gti wheel.

RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 25-07-2013

To put it basically, there is two airbags in the steering wheel. One slower detonating than the other. It will set one off if its a low speed crash. If its a big one, set off both so bridge the two cables and it should be fine. Oh just to add, its only one bag but two detonators.
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Stephen - 25-07-2013
205 wheel ftw

as already mentioned, looks good in a phase1....but antique in a phase3
Re: 206 steering wheel into 306 - reckord - 26-07-2013
Yes piggy some serious deburring was involved got there in the end . Just sacrificed the cowling completely so my car looks abit stolen from the best of angles to some lol.
As for the airbag connections they deffo need modifying which i havnt done .
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 26-07-2013
surely the stalks are now only like a cm away from the wheel?!
Re: 206 steering wheel into 306 - reckord - 26-07-2013
If i remember when i first had the wheel on it almost felt better to use the stalks when driving without hand of the wheel as they were closer but nothing ridiculous
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 29-07-2013
so took the cowlings off just to see if it was going to feel ok, reach etc, as I like to have my legs almost straight but arms bent.....
and:

do those luggs need cutting off too then??
I love the look of it, but I am wavering about fitting it now.
I have a aftermarket wheel boss but cant find anything that dont look too tacky
Re: 206 steering wheel into 306 - reckord - 29-07-2013
Unfortunately they gotta go aswell
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - C.A.R. - 02-03-2014
Did you ever finish fitting this dude?
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 03-03-2014
Nah....went for a aftermarket wheel
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Mattcheese31 - 03-03-2014
Piggy couldn't cut it lol
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Niall - 03-03-2014
I was going to just get my wheel retrimmed and shaped but after driving the missus 206 the other day, i do think the 206 gti wheel is perfect so i might buy one and finally get it fitted! Just worried about the airbags
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - C.A.R. - 03-03-2014
Niall please be guinea pig! I think they look great too.

Only if i can put it in your car connected to the airbag circuit for the first time? lol
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 03-03-2014
Haha...
It was the reach that bugged me, even if I had chopped at the cowling, would be driving round with either me arms in a good positiom but knees round me head or legs in perfect position and arms stretched out straight! And knuckles catching the stalks

Hmm true i suffer from that standard anyway hence why I'm going to look at extending the steering column by about 25mm
RE: 206 steering wheel into 306 - Piggy - 03-03-2014
Yeah would need about that, if not more.
If you could find a shaft adapter (!) of some sort you be sorted.
They do feel nice and much newer

I get a little nervous that the circuit will be upset by moving the seat around with the poor connectors let alone after chopping and changing it!
