I have sent off a feeler email, hopefully this process shall not take too long and possibly brokering a good deal.

but they only send within Germany :/

I expect you will have difficulty in sourcing these parts, and I doubt anyone will post. The fact is, most front airbags contain pyrotechnics to deploy - so distributors won't just hand them out to anyone.

Your best to source these through authorised dealers as opposed to ebay too - you don't want to trust your safety to some unknown distributor on ebay. And you'll only know for sure in an accident.

No dice with the steering wheel, he believes it will not integrate with the polo...

According the ETKA, the steering wheels aren't Polo specific, the part numbers are 5K (Mk6 Golf) and 1K (Mk5 Golf) units.

I will have to wait til the R-Line steering wheel from the Polo pops its head out of the shadows...


By the way, how hard is it to removed/exchange the odometer cluster in the Polos? I think I want to do a R-line package retrofit.

But a Golf/Scirocco wheel should be fine since they're the same part?

AFAIK tacho swaps require special programming beyond VCDS, dealers can do it quite easily though.

I saw that as well and I would love to have the better system. Perhaps that instrument cluster and steering wheel combo to run through the menu items... I wonder if the 77tsi has the computer modules that would accept those changes?
