Flappy paddles steering wheel in Tiguan.

There's no badge on the bottom of the wheel, just a hole. Suspect it was destined for another market (service guy suggested the American market, which would have left some US VW dealer very confused!).

The only concern I have with trying to get it re-coded is the effect that might have on the warranty, but might be worth keeping it until the warranty expires and then fiddling with it.

Does the wheel have grey stitching and a flat bottom?

It's the traditional round one with black stitching.

I think you'd find those sorta wheel in a Passat CC, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it's a European one that was mistakenly added to yours or there was some other problem preventing them from using the normal one.

I've seen a few 'Highline' Golf's in the UK with that wheel.

Let us know if you do happen to have it coded and get it working as i would love to change the wheel over on mine.

I dont know why they sell a DSG without the paddles....

G'day all
Looks like I have missed out on procuring a mfsw with paddles to suit my tdi dsg Tig.It appears all the Euro suppliers have all dried up.Even their websites are not active anymore.Shud have gone ahead with a couple of Irish guys offer of a wheel,but i was waiting on a reply from bricarauto[considerably cheaper than the Irish setup] but now it appears bricarauto have gone off the radar and the Irish guys have sold all their stock with little chance of anything being available in the near future.Bummer!
Phil.
